How to trim the shape of Dragon Blood Tree? How to maintain after pruning?
Dracaena is a very good ornamental plant. If the growth period is not pruned, it will grow longer and higher, which will eventually affect the ornamental value. Therefore, we need to constantly shape and trim it in the process of its growth, so that it can grow more vigorously and have a high degree of beauty. So how to prune the dragon blood tree? Let's learn about its pruning method from Uncle Gardener. First, the method of pruning and shaping. There are two ways to trim and reshape dragon blood. First, cut it into a "T". This shape of Dracaena leaves only grow at the top of the main stem, and there are no leaves at the top. The whole plant is called T-shaped because of the English letter T. Steps: First, cut off the leaves at the lower part of the main stem, and then make the main stem into a T-shape. Secondly, cut flat at a certain height, as long as the new leaves at the top of the main stem are left. Remember to remove the lateral buds from the main stem at any time. Finally, put the trimmed dragon's blood in a ventilated and light place, and after a while, it will be shaped into a T-shape. 2. Short cut branches are tender and not suitable for T-type, so they are suitable for fine plants. The operation step is to select 2~3 lateral buds from the left and right positions of plants that have fallen off for many years for culture, and these buds should be kept at different heights. At the same time, water and fertilizer management should be strengthened. Second, pruning and maintenance. Pay attention to maintenance after pruning. When you prune according to your own preferences, you can cultivate the pruned branches and make them grow into new life. 1. The lightly pruned Dracaena should be placed in a well-ventilated and well-lit place, so that the leaves can carry out photosynthesis and promote the growth of branches and leaves. 2. Water the dragon's blood tree and water it normally after pruning. Water should be done every morning after 10 and before 6 pm. Spray water when it is particularly dry and hot to ensure the humidity of the leaves. Water should be controlled in winter and watered every 10 day.
