Bonsai White兰花 Trimming Tutorial
Let's take a look at the topics related to this tutorial on trimming Bonsai White orchids and orchid cultivation techniques together.
Many orchid enthusiasts do not know how to start pruning white orchids. For the white orchids in our home care, we usually control the tree's growth and flowering by removing leaves. For pruning, we usually target non-woody green branches. If they have become woody, they cannot be pruned as they will wither.
When white orchids have withered leaves, withered branches, excessive branches, and dense branches, they need to be pruned appropriately. White orchids generally do not require pruning except for diseased and withered branches. If pruning is needed, leaves should be removed first.
Before moving the potted white orchids out of the greenhouse, we need to remove the old leaves, leaving only a few leaves at the top of the branches to promote new growth. Leaves should also be removed after flowering, after the summer flowers, and after the autumn flowers; however, excessive removal is not recommended. The purpose is to inhibit tree growth and promote bud formation, otherwise, it will easily result in excessive growth.
Pruning white orchids is suitable for plants that have been planted for 1 to 2 years. First, cut off the top part of the tall main branches to promote the growth of lateral branches. Each pot should have 5 to 8 lateral branches, taking into account the branches on the lateral branches. For white orchid plants that have been planted for 3 to 5 years, they should be trimmed into an elliptical tree crown over 1 meter high with several lateral branches and a considerable number of branches. Each year, remove the excessive growth branches, diseased and withered branches, and remove some of the old leaves to allow for continuous flowering in summer and more beautiful branches.
When the flowering season of white orchids ends and the weather cools down in autumn, we need to prepare for the safe wintering of white orchids, which can be moved indoors. Before moving them into the house, we also need to prune the white orchids, removing withered leaves and old branches. Then place them in a well-ventilated and breathable environment, especially ensuring that the room temperature is maintained above 5°C in winter.
