Dendrobium does not like light too strong, more like half shade, summer should pay attention to good shading. Usually reasonable watering, usually wait until the surface of the substrate is dry before watering, one-time watering enough, thorough watering, according to different seasons to adjust the frequency of watering. It likes shade and the temperature stays around ten to fifteen degrees Celsius. It likes the high humidity, the summer climate is dry needs to spray water. Fertilizer is applied at intervals, mainly foliar fertilizer. Attention should also be paid to cleaning up diseased leaves and preventing and controlling pests and diseases.

1. Pruning Time

Pruning of Ginkgo biloba is usually carried out in summer and winter, when the plant is dormant, so pruning should be heavy, so that the stored nutrients can be concentrated, which is conducive to the growth of new shoots in the next year.In Xi's home, pruning should be light, mainly play a supporting role, control the growth of plants can be, pruning too much will affect photosynthesis.

2. Pruning Method

1. Short cut: Short cut is a very commonly used pruning method, mainly for annual branches, cut them short to promote the growth of branches and the development of lateral branches.Usually, the length of pruning is one third, 2-3 long branches will germinate at the cut, and the new shoots can grow to about 30-50 centimeters in the same year.

2, thinning: If the top of the ginkgo tree is too dense, cross branches and overlapping branches, affecting the internal ventilation and light transmission, it needs to be properly thinned.Sparse pruning to cut long branches, as well as weak branches and drooping branches, in its germination, the direction of the bud will not erase, this can also play a preventive effect.

3. Retraction: Retraction is similar to truncation, but it is mainly aimed at old branches, and the intensity of pruning is greater.Retraction generally retains only half the length of the original branch, for some thicker branches can be cut only one third, it should be noted that the diameter of the cut should not exceed 5 cm.

4, pinching: For any plant, pinching is necessary, in addition to controlling plant height, but also to promote branch growth.Potted Ginkgo biloba needs pinching more, which can prevent it from continuing to grow upward, and is very helpful to control the tree shape.Generally, when the branches grow to 15 centimeters, the terminal buds are removed to promote the secondary growth of the branches.

5. Girdling: Cut off the cortex of the branches of the ginkgo tree with a knife, and the depth should reach the xylem, which can promote its flowering and fruiting, but generally only for the branches that grow vigorously and are strong and robust. Girdling of weak branches can also promote growth, but due to limited nutrition, the effect of fruiting is often not as good as that of thick branches.
