In summer, with high temperature and humidity, its rooting and germination speed is the fastest. At this time, the branches and leaves will grow rapidly, and the unsightly branches on the edge will rob the nutrition of the trunk. At this time, we should cut off the branches that grow outside or in a bad direction. The branches on the trunk should be cut short so that they can absorb more nutrients and grow buds. When cutting, we should leave a third of the length. The remaining sliver must be the top one or the one that wants it to grow to a certain side, because the production direction is determined by these buds.
In winter, when the temperature is low, its leaves will fall down slowly to keep the nutrition absorbed by the roots, and the branches will shrink and overlap with each other. For a long time, there will be some places where the branches are very dense, and some places where the branches are very sparse. If you don't prune it, the leaves of the branches will grow very disorderly and have no direction in spring and summer. At this time of pruning, first cut off the broken part of its branches, then cut off the small branches, leaving the best trunk, and then use the line to fix its trunk, and then pull the branches in the dense place to the sparse place, and then do the fixation.
If you want to prune and shape the seven leaf lotus planted on the roadside or in the yard, you usually build a shelf beside it when you plant it, restrain its growth, and go in the fixed direction. After a few years, it has completely grown in the fixed direction, so you can remove the first shelf, and then trim it in a small range. If you want to prune the shape of the seven leaf lotus planted in the small basin, you need to leave small buds at the highest place where its branches are most curved when pruning for the first time, and let it grow slowly. Under the effect of gravity, it will hang down and become more and more curved by itself. In the next few years, I will trim it like this. After a long time, it will look like an umbrella. It's very beautiful
