How to prune spruce bonsai pruning methods and techniques

Spruce Pruning Time

It is more appropriate to prune spruce from late November of the current year to February of the following year, because it is in a dormant period. Pruning at this time is more conducive to recovery and will not affect its growth. However, at ordinary times, appropriate pruning work should be carried out according to its growth conditions, such as bud removal.

Spruce pruning methods and steps

1. Spruce needs to be bud-picked once a year to control the growth of branches and leaves and give them a reasonable density. It is usually more appropriate when the buds are 2-3 cm long, which is usually done in April each year.

2. During the dormant period of spruce, some branches and leaves that have grown too long need to be cut off, and some dead branches and yellow leaves also need to be properly pruned. This can reduce excessive consumption of nutrients and make the plant shape more beautiful.

Precautions for pruning spruce

1. The growth rate of spruce is relatively fast, so it is necessary to prune it in time. When you find overgrown branches and yellow leaves, you must remove them in time to avoid affecting their growth.

2. After pruning the spruce, you need to apply medicine to the wound to prevent infection. After that, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it will affect its growth. It is best to keep it in a cool and ventilated place.
