Longevity flower Laozhuang is a very distinctive plant. It has strong cultural heritage and extraordinary vitality, so it is loved by more and more people. However, if you don't master its maintenance skills, the longevity flower old pile will be easily invaded by pests and diseases, and it will be difficult to exert its aesthetic value. This article will introduce in detail the breeding methods and pruning techniques of longevity flower old piles, hoping to help readers better manage it.
1. Understand the ecological characteristics of longevity flower old piles. In nature, longevity flower old piles mainly grow in subtropical and tropical regions and prefer high temperature and humid environments. Its trunk is thick, its bark is thick, its branches are crisscrossed, and its flowers are colorful. At the same time, the longevity flower old pile is also very adaptable and can grow well even in poor soil. In the process of maintaining it, we need to pay attention to these characteristics and provide corresponding growth conditions for it.
2. Choosing a suitable breeding substrate to cultivate longevity flower old piles requires using a suitable substrate. It is generally recommended to use soil rich in nutrients and good drainage. Specifically, some decomposed organic fertilizers or legumes can be added to the mixed soil to increase soil fertility. At the same time, an appropriate amount of sandy material should be added to the matrix to improve its breathability and drainage properties.
3. Pay attention to maintaining soil moisture. Longevity flowers and piles like a humid environment, so pay attention to maintaining soil moisture during daily maintenance. However, care should be taken to avoid over-watering to avoid causing root rot. Under normal circumstances, appropriate water can be watered every 2-3 days to keep the soil moist.
4. Reasonable fertilization The growth of longevity flower old piles requires sufficient nutritional support, so reasonable fertilization is needed in daily maintenance. It is recommended to apply fertilizer in spring and summer, about once a month. Compound fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements can be used to provide adequate nutrition.
5. Pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

Spraying with biopesticides or chemical pesticides can be used to kill pests and diseases and prevent them from attacking again.
6. Reasonable pruning of branches The branches of longevity flowers and old piles grow very luxuriantly, so reasonable pruning is needed during daily maintenance. Some branches that are too long or too dense can be appropriately trimmed to maintain the appearance of the tree and promote its growth. At the same time, attention should be paid to using sharp tools when pruning to avoid damage to the tree trunk.
7. Carry out short and long cuts. The pruning of old piles of longevity flowers must not only consider the density and length of branches, but also pay attention to short and long cuts. Short pruning refers to cutting off short branches and young buds to promote their branching and growth; long pruning refers to pruning long branches to an appropriate length to control tree type and promote flower bud differentiation. Pay attention to the intensity when making short and long cuts to avoid causing damage to the tree trunk.
8. Master the pruning time. The pruning time of old piles is very important. It is generally recommended to prune them in spring and autumn. Spring is the germination period of trees, and pruning can stimulate their growth; autumn is the dormant period of trees, and pruning can promote their flower bud differentiation. You need to pay attention to the weather choice when pruning and avoid pruning in rainy days or hot weather.
9. Reasonable design The tree shape of the longevity flower old pile is very unique, and a more artistic and ornamental form can be created through reasonable design. You can use methods such as reducing branches, adjusting branch angles and shapes to create a tree with beautiful shape and smooth lines.
10. Pay attention to the timing and method of properly transplanting longevity flower old piles, and it is generally recommended to carry out it in spring or autumn. Before transplanting, the soil around the roots needs to be cleared and the plants need to be transplanted in a new substrate. At the same time, proper watering and fertilization are needed after transplanting to help it resume growth as soon as possible.
11. Regular inspection of pests and diseases. Longevity flower piles are susceptible to some pests and diseases, so regular inspections are needed during daily maintenance. You can observe whether there are unusual colors and shapes on the trunk and leaves, and whether there are pests such as eggs and aphids. If abnormal conditions are found, timely prevention and control are needed.

It is generally recommended to remove wilted flowers during flowering to promote their next round of flowering. At the same time, attention should also be paid to avoid direct strong light and cold wind to avoid affecting the growth and quality of flowers.
13. Pay attention to avoid falling of the trunk. The trunk of the Changshou Flower Old Pile is very thick, but it may still fall when it is attacked by strong winds or heavy rain. During daily maintenance, attention should be paid to the support and fixation of the trunk to avoid falling down of the trunk.
14. Regular pruning The pruning of old piles of longevity flowers requires regular pruning to maintain the beauty and health of the tree. It is generally recommended to prune once in spring and autumn to maintain appropriate length and density of branches.
15. The maintenance skills of longevity flower old piles need to be mastered in many aspects, including selecting suitable breeding substrates, maintaining soil moisture, reasonable fertilization, preventing and controlling pests and diseases, reasonable pruning of branches, reasonable shape design, etc. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can we maintain the old pile of longevity flowers and let it show more beauty and vitality during the growth process.
