1、 How to make the duck palm tree more branched

1. Topping in time: if the duck palm tree has grown to the desired height and wants to have more branches, it should be topped in time in the peak growth season and the top of the plant should be disposed of in time, which can save a lot of nutrients and promote its lateral bud germination

2. Use hormone: if you don't want to topple, you can use plant specific hormone to help its lateral bud growth and promote the germination of lateral branches. The commonly used hormones are cytokinin, auxin and gibberellin, which can promote the rapid division of plant cells and facilitate the growth of branches. Note that if new buds have begun to grow, stop using them to avoid overgrowth. Fertilizer should also be stopped in time. Too much nutrients will grow in vain and affect the overall beauty

2、 How to trim the shape

If you want to trim the shape, you can cut it into pagoda shape and trim it slowly from bottom to top. Or you can trim it according to your desired shape, as long as it is beautiful. When pruning, cut off the withered and yellow branches first, and then trim the over dense branches and overgrown branches, which can increase ventilation and light transmittance, and save a lot of nutrients, so as to promote more vigorous growth. In addition, the roots should be trimmed, and the old roots and rotten roots should be cut off every time the pot is changed, so as to promote the growth in the later stage
