As a common bonsai, asparagus requires careful shaping to look good. When planting, you need to choose a flowerpot of appropriate size. The ratio of the width of the flowerpot to the plant is about 1:3. When the new shoots grow to about 3 cm, they need to be topped to control their height. Proper pruning is required during the growth period, and excessively long branches should be cut off to promote more sprouts. In addition, you can use shading to let it grow toward the sun, which can make the shape more natural.

1. Pot size control

1. Pot size control

To control the growth of asparagus, the best way is to use pots to limit the growth of its roots, so that the size of the plant can remain unchanged. Generally, the size ratio of flower pots and plants is about 1:3, so that the plants will not grow anymore.

2. Topping

< p>When the new shoots of asparagus grow to about 3 cm, they need to be topping. Remove its growing points to promote the development of branches and leaves. It will also prevent the growth of vines and make it look taller.

3. Trim and shape

Asparagus can be pruned appropriately during the growth period. At this time, it recovers very quickly and will not cause loss of water and nutrients. Cutting branches that are too long can encourage sprouting. If not controlled, it is likely to grow too long and look unsightly.

4. Appropriate shading

As Asparagus grows in a phototaxis direction, it can be encouraged to grow in a certain direction by shading it. This style is more natural than artificial trimming. However, be careful to avoid strong light. If strong light causes the branches to wither and turn yellow, they need to be cut off immediately.
