1、 Need pruning

Pruning is a very important step for raising Australian fir. Because it grows vigorously and grows rapidly, without pruning will affect its growth. Moreover, for a bonsai, pruning nature is very important, because it is related to its beauty

2、 How to trim

1. Short: This is for too long branches. If not pruned, some branches will grow very long, which will appear very uncoordinated and affect the overall effect. After they are properly shortened, they can not only make the shape look better, but also reduce the consumption of nutrition

2. Thinning: This is when the branches are too dense. Sometimes, bonsai often has too dense and messy branches. For them, in order to make the whole more symmetrical and beautiful, you can selectively cut off some branches and leave some beautiful branches

3. Rhizome tillering: sometimes, there are some twigs in the rhizome. These small branches have no effect, but will consume nutrients, so it's best to cut them off

4. Others: in addition to the above three main ones, we also need to pay more attention to whether there are diseased branches and dead branches. Once found, cut them off in time

3、 Precautions

1. Use sharp scissors and disinfect them

2. When pruning, cut it obliquely at an angle of about 45 degrees
