Do you know how to prune duck paw wood?

Duck foot wood is what we call the fortune tree, it is also called goose paw wood, it grows very fast, the branches and leaves are very green, after proper maintenance, it will grow very well, put it indoors as a leaf green plant is very beautiful, but also has a certain effect of purifying the air, duck palm wood must be properly maintained in the process of growth, pruning to keep up with the ability to grow well.

Generally pruning, the branch does not care about it, it grows very long, after the normal degeneration of the old leaves of the leaves at the bottom, it will be very ugly to leave a pole, so we keep a certain trunk on the basis of the plant, the top is knocked off in time, after the top is removed, the position of the leaf and the stem connection under it will quickly grow a number of side branches, and then we go to fertilize it to keep up, let it grow side branches, and then we go to knock off the top of it after the side branches grow taller. This process goes on and on, and finally there is a main trunk with a lot of side buds on it, and the side buds have many leaves and longer leaves, so that we can achieve the effect we want to flourish. Such a beautiful pot of duck's foot wood plants looks very good indoors.

We top in order to promote its rapid meristem side branches, to break its apex advantage to it, only need to cut off its top on it, after cutting off the top of the bottom of the leaf do not care about it, the leaf with the ability to photosynthesize, if cut off will affect its growth, although it will not die, but the growth will be slow. After the side buds grow, it has more and more leaves, so that we can achieve the beautiful effect we want.

Duck foot wood is very easy to raise, we maintain it as much as possible to put it in the most sunny place on it, with soil as much as possible to adhere to the two principles of breathability and permeability, usually watering. The potting soil is about to dry out, water it thoroughly in time, choose fertilizer with high nitrogen content, other elements are not missing, give it 2 3 times a month, as long as the normal growth fertilizer does not give it is missing, it can quickly grow roots, the root system directly grows full of pots, the branches directly grow thicker and thicker, and the side buds will grow more, as long as you follow the method said by Xiao Qi, you can try it.

The construction of duck palm wood can be selected around the Qingming Festival, because the weather is slowly warming up at this time, and it is the fastest time for duck palm wood to grow.

When pruning duck palm wood, the main thing to prune is the new shoots of duck palm wood. Because of the rapid growth of the side buds of the new shoots, the original beauty is destroyed.

When the size of the duck palm wood is too large, you can trim the size of the duck palm wood by the size of the pot and keep it pruned regularly.

Clean up the rotten leaves, withered leaves, and then prune some dead branches and those that affect the normal growth of other branches, apply some fertilizer and water a little after pruning, so that you can do it.

Cut off the yellowing or excess leaves, so that the other parts can better absorb nutrients, and the leaves will be more verdant, usually pay attention to watering it more, so that it can absorb nutrients well.

We should cut off the yellowed part of it so that it has a better nutrient content and can grow luxuriantly.

The pruning of duck palm wood is mainly pruned at the bud stage, and the top of the duck palm wood grows too fast at the budding stage and needs to be pruned. Prune the redundant branches, long branches, and diseased branches in time during the growth period to avoid affecting the growth of other healthy branches and leaves. When the duck palm grows to a certain extent, it needs to be pruned to prevent its roots from rotting and affecting the growth of the whole plant.

In winter, the duck palm wood enters the dormant period and prunes its weak branches and leaves.

1.Budding pruning.

Spring is the time for the duck palm wood to sprout and grow, so it is plucked and pruned. Avoid rapid growth of the apical shoots at the bud stage, which will prevent new shoots from germinating. When the duck palm tree grows to a certain height, the top of the hollow leaves on the main plant is cut off to help new shoots germinate.

2.Pruning during the growing season.

In the growth period, there will be long branches and leaves, excess branches and leaves, overlapping branches and leaves, dead branches, and diseased branches need to be cut off. Determine the main branches, prune the branches and leaves of the main trunk, and keep 3-5 branches to grow on each branch. The fast-growing and robust branches and leaves keep their length to about 20-30 to avoid competing for nutrients with the main branches.

3.Root pruning.

When the duck palm wood grows to a certain period, its roots are prone to rot and fester. After 1-2 years, repotting and root pruning are carried out. Take the duck palm wood out of the pot, clean up the excess soil at its roots, cut off the rotten roots in time, replace it with new soil, water it with a small amount of water, and put the thick and healthy roots into it to grow.

4.Winter pruning.

After the arrival of winter, the duck palm wood enters the dormant period, and it is necessary to cut off all the dead branches, rotten branches, diseased branches and leaves, old branches and weak branches on its plants. Cut the healthy and sturdy branches and leaves short and clean them of the potting soil. The roots also need to be pruned in time to ensure that the overall growth of the plant is nutritionally balanced.

1. Usually duck foot wood is most suitable for pruning in spring, when it will sprout a lot, and it will soon enter the vigorous growth period, pruning is conducive to the germination of new shoots, so it is not recommended to prune in winter or summer, because the growth is slower at this time.

2. Gently cut and fix when young plants. After the duck's foot tree is in the pot, some branches and leaves can be cut off, and the density is very high. Then, according to the flexible traction of the plant form, the direction of the new branches is guided, which is convenient for fixing the shape later.

3. Topping and thinning during the growth period. If you want to prevent the duck's foot tree from growing, you can pick it during the growing period and prune it while it is thriving. For example, some intersecting and overly dense branches can be pruned, and stronger branches can be retained.

4. When the duck palm wood grows to 4 5 years, its shape and basic shape are fixed. How is the duck palm wood trimmed and shaped at this time?It can be re-pruned, and some of the more robust old branches can be cut off, leaving 2-3 years old and new branches.

5. Some flower friends in the planting of duck foot wood, due to not paying attention to the maintenance method of the duck foot tree, resulting in leaf fall or yellowing, at this time the upper part of the plant should be cut off, so that the duck foot tree germinates new branches, and cut off the branches can be used as cuttings. Prevent the spread of pests and diseases.

In early spring, when repotting the duck palm wood, you can prune it and cut off all the dead branches, trapped old leaves, black roots, and rotten roots on the plant. If you are raising an old plant with a very lush growth, you can cut off the branches that are too tall and cut the branches that are too dense to facilitate the growth of new branches. If you are raising young plants, you can prune the new shoots that have just grown 1-2 times to promote the germination of side branches.

In addition, if the winter temperature is very low, you can also prune the side branches before winter. How to prune the duck palm wood and when to prune.

1. When to prune the duck palm wood.

Duck paw wood is generally pruned in early spring. At this point, it is ending its dormancy and preparing to start growing. Pruning at this time reduces unnecessary foliage on the plant to reduce nutrient consumption and make room for new foliage to germinate.

In addition, it can also be pruned when there is a growth problem on the plant, that is, when the leaves are yellow, dry, blackened, and wilted.

Second, how to trim the size of the duck palm wood.

1. Pruning when changing pots: In spring, in order to provide better soil conditions for the plant, it will be given a soil change. While changing the soil, you can prune its roots and branches by the way.

Cut off the old roots, rotten roots, dead leaves, and yellow leaves on them. This allows the plant to grow better after changing the soil. 2. Pruning in early spring:

In early spring, the plants can be pruned once. At this time, the dead and yellow leaves on the plant should be cut off. If you are cultivating old plants with a lot of luxuriant growth, you can cut off the branches that are too tall and cut the branches that are too dense to make it easier for new branches to grow.

If you are raising young plants, you can prune the new shoots that have just grown 1-2 times to promote the germination of side branches. 3. Pruning before winter: If it cannot be guaranteed to provide it with a warm enough environment in winter, it is recommended to prune it once before winter.

Side branches can be pruned as appropriate to reduce the plant's nutrient consumption and help it survive the winter.

First, pruning duck paw wood is not at any time, in general, it is pruned around the Qingming Festival, because at this time the weather is slowly warming, duck paw wood growth is the fastest.

Second, when pruning the duck palm wood, we mainly prune the new shoots of the duck palm wood, because the rapid growth of the new sprout side buds destroys the appearance of the original duck palm wood.

Third, although the growth rate of the duck palm wood is relatively slow, but the size of the old duck palm wood is huge, at this time it is difficult to prune, we can prune the size of the duck palm wood by the size of the pot.

Fourth, it should be noted that we regularly prune the branches and leaves of the duck palm wood, if you take good care of it in the early stage of Enga, it will be more convenient in the later stage, and the early pruning will pave the way for the orange hail pie of the duck palm wood.

The pruning of the duck palm wood can be selected to be pruned around the Qingming Festival every year, during which the sterilized sharp scissors can be used to prune off the top branches of the duck palm wood to encourage it to sprout new side branches. In addition, it is also necessary to thin the overgrown branches and leaves on the duck palm wood to avoid affecting the internal branches and leaves for photosynthesis.

It is recommended to choose the right time to prune the duck palm wood before and after the Qingming Festival every year, during which the duck palm wood just enters the growth period from the dormant period, and the duck palm wood can grow and develop vigorously after the pruning is completed.

When pruning duck palm wood, it is necessary to prune according to the change in the growth stage. During the growth period of duck palm wood, it is necessary to use sterilized sharp scissors to prune off the ends of the upper branches and prune the topping, so that the duck palm wood can sprout new shoots and make the duck palm wood grow robustly.

When the duck palm wood is cultivated daily, it is also necessary to observe its growth state regularly, and find that the branches and leaves of the duck palm wood grow too luxuriantly, so it is necessary to carry out thinning in time to avoid affecting the internal branches and leaves for photosynthesis and respiratory growth, and proper pruning can also promote the growth and development of other shoots.

In summer, the duck palm wood is prone to lose leaves, the top leaves will all fall off, and there will be a few leaves left at the bottom, at this time, the top half of the position can be shortened to promote the duck palm wood to sprout new branches, and the pruned branches can also be cuttings, and after rooting, they can grow into new plants.
