How to shape a straight bar more than one meter?

The shape of more than one meter of straight rod Podocarpus is mainly completed by hanging, and the trunk is fixed. Other branches are modeled by knotting, pruning, bending and binding. Hard silk thread must not be used when setting, which will scratch the plant, cause bacterial infection and lead to plant death.

The modeling of arhat pine is generally carried out at the seedling stage, when the modeling is simple and can be modeled according to personal hobbies. The modeling of arhat pine is mainly to stretch and bend the trunk, and the shape of the trunk is generally adjusted by hanging.

When hanging the trunk of Podocarpus, a stump is needed as a support to prevent the trunk from being excessively bent and failing to reach the shape required for modeling. Weeds need to be used when hanging, and placed at the place where the stake touches the trunk, which is conducive to pressing the injured part and healing quickly.

After hanging and pressing, the plant trunk is still not shaped, and it needs to be shaped with wooden sticks and brown silk thread. Fix the stick on the trunk and outline the shape with brown silk thread. The trunk will grow with the direction of the stick.

After completing the modeling of the trunk of Podocarpus, other branches should be modeled, generally by rolling, pruning, binding and other methods, to achieve their own design modeling. You can't prune branches too hard or too much, which will affect the normal growth of plants.
