1. Head pinching: In the process of epiphyllum growth, it is necessary to remove the advantage of the top of the plant, so as to control the growth height of the plant, and also make its branches grow more lateral buds, and the growth will be more robust.
2. Thinning: Sometimes the growth of the plant will be chaotic, so in order to make its shape more beautiful, it is necessary to thin out the dense branches, which can also avoid the consumption of nutrients.When thinning branches, we should choose thin and weak branches and keep strong branches, which can also increase the ventilation and light transmission of plants.
3. Others: When diseased branches and weak branches appear on the plant, they should also be cut off at the first time. On the one hand, it can save nutrients and promote the growth of the plant, and on the other hand, it can make the ornamental roots higher.
When pruning, do not do heavy pruning, so as to avoid poor flowering.In addition, do not prune off the old branches, this is because the plant blossoms are mostly old branches, if the old branches are cut off, it is likely to occur the phenomenon of non-flowering.
