1、 How long thick not tall

The growth rate of Luohan pine is not fast. It is impossible to grow and thicken quickly. It needs to be maintained slowly to make it grow and thicken. In addition, after limiting its height by topping, it can also turn nutrients to grow thick, so that it will grow thick but not tall

2、 How to grow thick

1. Pick the heart and topping: in the growth period of Luohan pine, pick the heart and topping in time. Generally, when it grows to 50-80cm, you can pick the heart and cut off the bud at the top of the trunk, so that it will not grow tall and use nutrients to grow thick

2. Increase light: the growth of Pinus grosvenorii cannot be separated from sufficient light. Lack of light will increase the top advantage, allowing it to use all its nutrients to grow. Therefore, we must be more exposed to the sun, so that the plant has sufficient light to avoid it growing too high

3. Proper fertilization: if you want to make Luohan pine grow thick, you can't do without sufficient nutrients. More fertilizer should be applied during the growth period, and the fertilizer should not be too thick. Generally, apply fertilizer 3-4 times from February to March and from September to November. The fertilizer should use rotten organic fertilizer, which is conducive to its absorption

4. Pruning in time: if the branches and leaves are too lush and the plant needs to supply them with a large amount of nutrients, it is difficult to grow thick. The over dense branches and leaves need to be cut off, and the flower buds should be removed in time after flowering to avoid the waste of nutrients
