[0040] Referring to Figs. 1-2, the present invention provides a shaping apparatus for Mussaenda pubescens. The shaping apparatus includes a main bracket, a bottom bracket, a top bracket and a cultivation container {not shown in the figures) The main bracket at least comprises one first steel pipe 1 arranged vertically. The bottom bracket is connected with a lower end of the first steel pipe 1. The top bracket is detachably connected with an upper end of the first steel pipe 1.

The cultivation container is placed on the bottom bracket through a supporting member. The first steel pipe 1 may be cylindrical or prismatic. The shape and specification of the first steel pipe are determined by the actual environment and demands. The supporting member here may be a box or a plate, which is intended to provide a space for placing a cultivation container on the bottom bracket. The cultivation container may be a plant pot, which may be preferably a thickened 60*45 cm plant pot. In this way, a sufficient planting area can be ensured, and the self-weight of the plant pot can provide stability. The top bracket is detachably connected with the upper end of the first steel pipe 1. The connection manner includes but is not limited to threaded connection, sleeving connection, and clamping connection, which enables quick and easy assembly. The apparatus only includes a main bracket, a bottom bracket, a top bracket and a cultivation container, so it has fewer parts, a simple structure and is convenient to transport.

[0041] Referring to Fig 1 again, Fig. 1 shows one structure of the shaping apparatus. In one embodiment, the main bracket is formed by four first steel pipes 1; the bottom bracket comprises a first cross-shaped bracket 2, with four ends of the first cross-shaped bracket 2 connected with lower ends of the four first steel pipes 1 in one-to-one correspondence; and the top bracket comprises four second steel pipes 3, wherein lower ends of the four second steel pipes 3 are detachably connected with upper ends of the four first steel pipes 1 in one-to-one correspondence, and upper ends of the four second steel pipes 3 are tilted inwards so that the four second steel pipes 3 are connected with one another. By adding the number of the first steel pipes 1, a main bracket structure with a quadrilateral cross-section is formed to improve the stability of the shaping apparatus. The first cross-shaped bracket 2 can provide a good stability effect. The pyramid shape of the top bracket can allow the canes of Mussaenda pubescens to climb and gather, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0042] In the above embodiment, further, the top bracket further comprises several auxiliary brackets 4, wherein each auxiliary bracket 4 is quadrilateral, and four comers of each auxiliary bracket 4 are welded with the four second steel pipes 3 in one-to-one correspondence. On one

BL-5681 hand, the auxiliary bracket 4 can help to support the four second steel pipes 3, and can provide a place for Mussaenda pubescens to climb on the other hand. Further, the several auxiliary re brackets are arranged with equal intervals in the vertical direction. In this way, the auxiliary support effect is better, and canes of Mussaenda pubescens can be dispersed to promote its growth.

[0043] Referring to Fig. 2 again, Fig. 2 shows another structure of the shaping apparatus. In one embodiment, the main bracket comprises one first steel pipe 1; the bottom bracket comprises a second cross-shaped bracket 6 and a first ring-shaped bracket 5, wherein four ends of the second cross-shaped bracket 6 are welded with the first ring-shaped bracket 5, and a middie point of the second cross-shaped bracket 6 is welded with the lower end of the first steel pipe 1; and the top bracket comprises several third steel pipes 7 and a second ring-shaped bracket 8, wherein one ends of the several third steel pipes 7 are detachably connected with the upper end of the first steel pipe 1, and the other ends of the several third steel pipes 7 are bent downwards and are welded with the second ring-shaped bracket 8. The main bracket may only include one first steel pipe 1 to reduce the number of parts and facilitate transportation. The bottom bracket includes an additional first ring-shaped bracket 5 to increase a contact area with the ground, thereby improving the stability of the shaping apparatus. The third steel pipes 7 are bent downwards and are welded with the second ring-shaped bracket 8, so that the top bracket presents an umbrella shape. When Mussaenda pubescens climbs to the top and spreads its canes, its entire appearance will be more beautiful.

[0044] As an optional implementation manner, in one embodiment, the above shaping apparatus further comprises a steel wire (not shown in the figures) bonded upwards along the main bracket.

After a steel wire is bonded, more directions and places can be provided for the canes of

Mussaenda pubescens to climb. Further, the steel wire is a plastic-encapsulated steel wire, which has the features of aging resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-cracking.

[0045] The present invention further provides a cultivating method for Mussaenda pubescens.

The method is implemented by using the above shaping apparatus and includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: placing a cultivation medium into a cultivation container;

[0047] S2: selecting a Mussaenda pubescens seedling to be shaped,

[0048] S3: planting the Mussaenda pubescens seedling to be shaped in the cultivation container;

[0049] S4: cultivating the Mussaenda pubescens seedling until its cane grows to 60-100 cm, and winding the cane of the Mussaenda pubescens seedling clockwise on the main bracket; and

[0050] S35: trimming the canes and leaves of the Mussaenda pubescens seedling in time during its growth process. 6

BL-5681

[0051] 4-6 Mussaenda pubescens seedlings may be planted in one cultivation container. A layer of multi-color cobble stones may be laid on the surface of a plant pot after the seedlings are 504176 planted to improve the aesthetic appearance.

[0052] As an optional implementation manner, in some embodiments, the cultivation medium used in Si includes peaty soil, pearlite and pine bark; the pine bark is placed in a bottom of the cultivation container after being sterilized; the peaty soil and the pearlite are placed on the pine bark, and a ratio of the peaty soil to the pearlite is 3:2. The cultivation medium prepared in this way can produce a better effect.

[0053] As an optional implementation manner, in some embodiments, the Mussaendo pubescens seedling is 2 years old and grown from a seed. A 2-year old seedling can be planted and cultivated more easily.
