How to trim osmanthus purple sand bonsai, with diverse shapes, is fresh every day.

The branches and leaves of Osmunda japonica grow complex, so it is different to prune them in different periods to obtain potted Osmunda japonica with different shapes. If the shape of Osmunda japonica is considered at the beginning of its growth, the common method of twisting branches in life may be adopted. First of all, when Osmunda japonica grows to a certain stage, the trunk parts of several Osmunda japonica are fused together, while the branches of the rhizome parts are entangled to a certain extent, and then tied and fixed with some strings. Generally, after 2-3 years, the trunks of several plants will be connected together, and the appearance of Osmunda japonica will be more lush.

In life, the trunk of Osmunda japonica will thicken in adulthood, but in order to make the potted Osmunda japonica look good and exquisite, it is necessary to prune it to some extent at the seedling stage. One of the methods is to cut off the trunk of the plant every once in a while to keep the height of the plant within a certain range and ensure its ornamental value. When Osmunda japonica grows to a certain height, cut off a section of the trunk of the plant and let the plant continue to grow; When the plant grows to another height, cut off the trunk again. The height of each cut depends on the shape you want to achieve. Usually, the trunk of Osmunda japonica is cut off, preferably once a year, which will not affect the growth of plants too much.

In addition to cutting off the trunk, the branches should be trimmed and cultivated to a certain extent. Pruning branches can be done according to your own preferences. It should be noted that some diseased branches and weak branches should be removed in time so that new branches and healthy branches can grow more easily. In about 2 years, potted plants can grow what you want.

The other is the common pruning style, which is loose and clean. This pruning method does not need to prune the trunk of the plant like pruning, but pruning in winter and then pruning after flowering. When winter comes, Osmunda japonica stops growing and enters a certain dormant mode, which is a good time for pruning.

Shorten some branches that are too long and too dense, and remove some leaves damaged by pests and diseases. Similar to the first method, the difference is that the branches trimmed by this method are more concise, and the same place is that the newly grown branches will become stronger and stronger.

Pruning after flowering is to wait until the flowering period of Osmunda japonica is over, and some residual flowers and underdeveloped buds are also cut off; According to the angle of the flowers you want to open, some partial flowers are also removed to improve the overall aesthetic feeling of the plants. In the spring of next year, the plants will slowly grow towards their desired potted shape, and of course they should be properly cared for, but the overall direction will not change.
