Any ornamental plant requires thorough care and forming. Especially it concerns krone. In the nature seldom the plant gets in the natural way ideal form, and in artificial conditions it is almost impossible. Therefore to gardeners to have to form krone independently, the benefit it is not so difficult as it seems.
Instruction
1. As dragon tree, ficus, monetary tree (crassula), lemon regular undercutting and prishchipyvaniye are simply necessary for such ornamental plants. Otherwise the plant can begin to izrastatsya, being excessively extended up, to give collateral, "excess" escapes. Its branches at the same time get out of shape and get the tousled outlines.
2. Correctly to create krone, it is necessary to consider physiology of plant and feature of its growth. Its plant is inclined to be extended up, giving thin and weak escapes, the prishchipyvaniye method will help. However there are some subtleties which should be known. To prishchipnut plant it is correct, it is necessary to wait when on branch there are three-four couples of young leaves, and between the last couple the new kidney will seem. It will need to be removed accurately to (prishchipnut). It is the best of all to do it by tweezers or nails. It is necessary to watch at the same time not to damage leaves. After the correct prishchipyvaniye on branch new kidneys – two or three pieces will appear. And thanks to them the plant will begin to branch.
3. Cutting as method of forming of krone, is applied when branches have already considerably grown and have partially stiffened. In this case according to plan of the gardener the top ends of too long branches at approximately identical distance are cut off. As a result the krone takes accurater form. Besides after cutting the plant begins to give young escapes more actively. Thus, the krone becomes more dense and dense.
4. If it is going to grow up standard tree on high leg how often form citrus fruit crops, then for this purpose it is necessary to cut off all lower escapes around trunk to certain level. The krone is given the form of sphere or slightly extended oval.
