During the cultivation process of shaping pine trees, it is inevitable to encounter issues with waterlogging during the rainy season. While shaping pine trees are not afraid of water, they are wary of prolonged waterlogging. Rootwaterlogging can lead to inadequate breathing, root rot, and in severe cases, it can affect the entire plant, leading to diseases, pests, and even death. Therefore, proper drainage during the rainy season is crucial for shaping pine trees at Xiu Ming Garden. Below, the editor from the Shandong Shaping Pine Base will share some management tips for shaping pine trees during the rainy season.

1. Drainage: After waterlogging, drainage is a crucial method, but it should be carried out in order. Seedlings have weaker water tolerance, so the primary focus should be on draining the water from the seedlings' roots, followed by draining the water from the larger plants' roots.

2. Pruning: Excessive waterlogging can cause damage to the root system of the shaped pine trees, affecting water absorption. Meanwhile, the evaporation of the above-ground parts will not cease. The purpose of pruning is to reduce water usage in the shaped pine trees. Pruning mainly involves thinning branches, trimming leaves, and shortening. The amount of pruning can be determined based on the growth condition of the shaped pine trees after flooding. After pruning, the cut ends should be promptly treated with a healing ointment.

3. Appropriate Shade: Blocking excessive sunlight can prevent intense heat from affecting the exterior, thereby effectively reducing the evaporation of moisture in the shaped pine trees.

4. Twisting: For large tree trunks that have not been treated with sunshade, twisting is also an effective method. To reduce water loss, it is necessary to spray water and moisten the straw rope in a misty manner when required.

After drainage, the surface soil should be slightly dry (suitable for non-stickiness), followed by tilling. The purpose of cultivating is to accelerate soil moisture evaporation, enhance soil permeability, and help restore the vitality of造型松trees. Additionally, harmful gases in the soil can be released in a timely manner, purifying the root system. For dense young plants like hedges and shrubs, if it's not convenient to till and loosen the soil during cultivation, drilling methods can be employed to promote soil aeration and water distribution.
