How to shape the Australian fir

How to shape the Australian fir

1. Modeling method

1. Substrate: When shaping it, the substrate underneath can be a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold, and sand in a ratio of 5:3:2, or peat soil, leaf mold, sand and perlite in a ratio of 5:2:2:1. Using such a substrate makes maintenance easier. You can also place stones on the substrate to increase the beauty of the shape.

2. Light: Choose a relatively bright place to place it daily. Do not let it grow in a dark place for a long time, otherwise chlorophyll cannot be synthesized, the leaves will not be dark green, and the shape will not be beautiful.

3. Watering: When the growth is vigorous, watering is needed in time, but not excessively. Starting from autumn, watering can be gradually reduced.

4. Pruning: Prune off dead and diseased branches, as well as some branches that are too long and too dense. The remaining branches can be pruned and adjusted according to your preferences. Individual branches can be tied and corrected with wire to achieve the desired shape and increase its ornamental value.

2. Precautions

During the growth process, you need to rotate the flowerpot every half a month or so to allow the plant to receive light evenly and prevent it from growing crooked and affecting the overall shape.
