How to trim the keel (how to trim the keel to make it thicker)

Trim the top branches, when the keel branches grow to 20 ~ 30 cm, the branches that are too long at the top should be cut short; Prune old branches, and when young branches are mature, prune old branches that consume nutrients in time to promote the germination of side branches; Fixed pruning, when the branches grow to 2 meters, it is necessary to prune the densely grown and infected branches and leaves to make the plant shape more beautiful.

1, pruning the top branch

The top branches should be pruned in the initial growth stage of keel trees. When the branches grow to 20-30 cm, the top branches should be trimmed and shortened to control the overall growth height of branches and promote the growth of new lateral branches of keel trees.

Step 2 prune old branches

When the new branches of the keel grow mature, the old branches that consume nutrients should be pruned in time to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption, avoid the aging of the keel branches and make the plant shape more beautiful. In addition, when the new branches grow to 30 cm, they need to be pruned again.

3, fixed pruning

Because the plant shape of the keel tree is large, when the branches grow to 2m, they need to be fixed and pruned in time to cut off the dense, sparse and infected branches and leaves on it, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the top is overweight, which leads to unstable extension and inverted distortion of the plant shape.

4. Preventive measures

Pay attention to the toxicity of keel leaves, and wear plastic gloves when pruning to prevent the leaves from being red and swollen. Moreover, the moisture should be strictly controlled after pruning, so that the pot soil is slightly dry, so as not to affect the wound healing because the pot soil is too wet. After pruning, the keel tree should be transferred to a ventilated and cool environment for maintenance.
