What is used to trim the elegant music dance?
As a dance spirit in the fleshy world, the elegant dance of music has captured countless plant lovers with its elegant branch shape. To keep this natural sculpture in a graceful posture, pruning is the key maintenance step. This article systematically analyzes the three core skills of selecting pruning tools, controlling modeling timing, and maintaining precautions to help you master the secret of making the dance of elegant music bloom with artistic beauty. Elegance Dance pruning tools: Professional versus household tools Professional gardening scissors (such as crescent scissors) can accurately control the incision angle and are especially suitable for handling trunk shapes. It is recommended to choose kitchen scissors with a blade length of 8-10cm for household scissors. The curved blade is more suitable for trimming twigs. No matter which tool you choose, it is crucial to keep the edge sharp-scissors that can easily cut A4 paper during testing pass. Operation specifications for disinfection and protection use the double disinfection method of wiping the tool with an alcohol cotton pad and quickly burning the blade with a flame for 3 seconds, which can effectively prevent bacterial infection. Maintain a 45° oblique angle during pruning, which not only helps the wound heal, but also creates natural growth traces. The golden rule of modeling and pruning is highly controlled. Three stages are picked to promote branching during the seedling period (10-15cm), top cutting and contour shaping are implemented during the growth period (30-40cm), and mature plants (50cm+) focus on pruning to maintain their shape. Special attention should be paid to retaining 3-5 growth nodes in the trunk to ensure space for new branches to germinate. The key points of morphological and aesthetic pruning follow the principle of "removing the straight and leaving the curved", giving priority to cutting off vertical long branches; adopt the "thinning-type" pruning method to control the spacing between the crossing branches to 2-3cm; implement "retraction pruning" on the aging branches, retaining 1-2 bud points at the base to stimulate new branches. Timing and maintenance precautions The optimal pruning period is when the average daily temperature in spring is 18-25℃. Combined with the convex moon phase of the lunar phase cycle, wound healing can be accelerated. Finish pruning 15 days before the rainy season to avoid mildew on the incision. Postoperative nursing points were used after pruning,"stepped water control" was used: water was completely cut off in the first 3 days, 10ml of water was supplied along the edge of the basin on the 4-7 days, and half of water was restored in the second week. Combined with scattered light maintenance, using bamboo charcoal powder to coat the incision can effectively prevent bacteria.
Through scientific pruning and maintenance, the elegant music dance can not only maintain a healthy growth state, but also gradually present a freehand bonsai-like artistic shape. Keep in mind the principle of "cutting in three points and raising in seven points" and flexibly adjust the pruning strategy based on the actual growth of the plant. You will surely be able to cultivate a unique dance spirit.
