How to pick leaves from red maple bonsai, it is very ornamental!

Leaf picking method

Leaf picking

It is generally more appropriate to pick the leaves of red maple, whether it is a large tree or a small or medium-sized potted plant, before the best viewing period in autumn. It is very inconvenient to pick the leaves of large trees. Today we will tell you about the method and process of removing leaves from red maple potted plants. Around the beginning of August every year, you can pick off all the leaves on the red maple plant. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can pick off the petioles together. It is recommended that you do so if you have the time and energy.

Pruning

Removing leaves from the branches can also clean up some old, weak, and sick branches at the same time. Giving your red maple a thorough cleaning will not only make it more beautiful in autumn, but also reduce a lot of work for winter pruning.

Nursing

Around the third day after all the leaf picking operations are completed, some new leaf buds will slowly sprout. At this time, the most important thing is for flower lovers to supplement the plants with some nutrients and fertilizers in time, preferably compound fertilizers, which will help the leaves sprout more and grow faster.

Leaf germination time

The three days mentioned above are the germination of young shoots after the petioles are removed. The germination of young shoots without the petioles takes about ten days. It may be slower and smaller at the beginning, but it will naturally return to normal speed after a while.

It takes three to four weeks from the time all the leaves are picked to the time all the leaves sprout. Almost all the leaves will unfold, and they will be a fiery red color, which is very beautiful and spectacular.
