1. How to grow thicker but not tallerPodocarpus does not grow fast, so it is unlikely to grow thick quickly. It needs to be slowly cared for to allow it to grow thick. In addition, by limiting its height by topping it, it can also divert nutrients to growing thicker, so that it will grow thicker instead of taller. 2. How to grow thicker1. Pinching and topping: Pinch and topping should be done in time during the growth period of Podocarpus. Generally, you can pinch the top of the tree when it grows to 50-80 cm, and cut off the buds at the top of the trunk. This way, it will not grow taller and the nutrients will be used to grow thicker. 2. Increase light: Podocarpus cannot grow without sufficient light. Lack of light will increase apical dominance, allowing it to use all nutrients to grow. Therefore, be sure to expose the plant to more sunlight to prevent it from growing too tall. 3. Appropriate fertilization: If you want Podocarpus to grow thicker, it needs sufficient nutrients. Apply more fertilizer during the growing season, but the fertilizer should not be too concentrated. Generally, fertilizer is applied 3-4 times in February-March and September-November. The fertilizer should be decomposed organic fertilizer, which is conducive to its absorption. 4. Timely pruning: If the branches and leaves are too lush, the plant will need a lot of nutrients to supply them, and it will be difficult for them to grow thicker. It is necessary to cut off the dense branches and leaves, and remove the flower buds in time after flowering to avoid wasting nutrients. |
