Pruning is a very important step for the cultivation of Australian fir. Because its growth is very prosperous, and its growth speed is very fast. Without pruning, its growth will be affected. Moreover, for a bonsai, trimming is very important, because it is related to its beauty.
1. Short cut: This is for too long branches. Without pruning, some branches will grow very long, which will appear very uncoordinated and affect the overall effect. If they are cut short properly, they will not only make the shape more beautiful, but also reduce the consumption of nutrition.
2. Sparse cutting: This is for the time when the branches are too dense. Sometimes, bonsai often has some branches that are too dense and messy. For them, in order to make the whole more symmetrical and beautiful, you can selectively cut off some branches, leaving some beautiful branches
3. Rhizome tillering: sometimes, there will be some twigs in the rhizome. These small branches have no effect, but will consume nutrients, so it's better to cut them
4. Others: in addition to the above three main ones, we need to pay more attention to whether there are diseased branches and dead branches. Once found, cut them off in time.
1. Use sharp scissors and disinfect them after cutting.
2. When cutting branches, cut them obliquely at an angle of about 45 degrees.
