Shape trimming

When modeling, first cultivate the branches to the appropriate thickness, then cut off a small section on the first branch, and then cultivate the trimmed paper to the appropriate thickness when the second branch grows, and then cut off a small section in turn, and so on

However, it should be noted that the length of each section and the number of twigs should be determined according to the shape of the bonsai itself, so as to achieve density and consistency, so as to be full of painting

Manage pruning

Pruning time

Management pruning, lobular red sandalwood should grow naturally from March to may, and then prune after a period of time, so as to accumulate nutrients. Similarly, the branches and buds with strong growth potential can be pruned, while the weak branches and buds can be cut less or not

The mature small leaf red sandalwood also needs to be pruned frequently in order to keep its bonsai shape unchanged. This can not only maintain its original shape, but also make some changes to make it more beautiful

Pruning method

Generally speaking, all crossed, parallel and wheel shaped branches and some unsightly branches need to be trimmed, and the diseased branches must be cut off. The inch thick branches and leaves can be thinned appropriately to facilitate ventilation and light transmission

But no matter how you prune it, you must be careful. The growth of small leaf red sandalwood is extremely slow. It can't become useful for hundreds of years. It is very precious. As the saying goes, ten sandalwood and nine empty. Therefore, it is not recommended to prune it arbitrarily unless necessary
