Hey plant lover, how you doing??
Today I plan to share a year update on my Gulmohar tree and how to get more branches and smaller leaves on your bonsai specimen. Now let us discuss a few things in brief so that your interest stays right where it should be. So yes, in this video we will discuss 1. pruning- what should be the age of the plant, how to do it right and what can go wrong, et cetera. 2. Watering- Before, during, and after pruning 3. If the plant should be exposed to the sun during this transition. And 4. The way forward for the plant after it comes out of pruning exercise.
So sit tight and watch the whole video and don’t miss a thing. Also, hit that subscribe button, great, let us unfurl the magic now……
- About the Bonsai Specimen
Let me first introduce this bonsai specimen to you- its Delonix regia aka Gulmohar tree and there are so many other names I am sure you are aware of them. This particular tree was grown from seed and its almost a year old. And as you see we have a trunk going straight up without any branches and that’s what we will do, get more branches and smaller leaves. If you wish you can check out the seed to a young Gulmohar tree video later, I will leave a link in the description.
- Pruning
Your plant needs to satisfy 2 conditions- should be more than 8 months old and should have at least 4 pairs of leaves. Now there is something quite fascinating about the leaves of a Gulmohar tree, as you see these are compound (doubly pinnate) leaves and have a feathery appearance. Each leaf is 30-50 cm long with 20 to 40 pairs of primary leaflets or pinnae, each divided into 10-20 pairs of secondary leaflets or pinnules. So next time you see one, have a closer look, and be amazed.
- Cutting Part I
Well, if the plant already has a couple of branches, no need to go and cut it further however if it's like the one you see here, then do it. Find a place on the trunk which is green and lies somewhere in between the leaves. A clean-cut will do and don’t worry about the wound as young plants don't even pay attention to it so you can also leave it like that
- Watering
Make sure that you give the plant a dry period of 3 days before the prune and then water it as soon as the pruning is complete and then continue to water it once a week. And if you haven't fertilized the plant in months, make sure you do it within a couple of days of pruning
- Sun
The plant should be in shade right after pruning and as soon as you see the wound has calloused, the part you had cut is all dried then transfer the plant back in the sun
- Cutting Part II
Now all you have to do is remove the leaves below the original cut somewhere in the middle, don't have these cuts too close to the trunk. The new leaves will take care of the food from here on and these old leaves will dry out eventually.
- The way forward
There have to be at least 6 months before you can prune a particular plant again
