Hemispherical: from the beginning of cutting seedlings, when it grows to 5-6 leaves, 2-3 leaves are reserved for topping. A week or so, new shoots will grow, and the shoots will grow to 4-5 leaves, and then top separately. Lollipop type: let the main branch grow 30-50cm, keep the three buds on the top, grow three lateral branches, and then knock the top for many times to promote new branches.

I. hemispherical

We can start directly from the small cuttings. Generally, when the small cuttings grow to five or six leaves, two or three leaves are reserved for topping and coring. After the topping, the buds can be sprouted from the axils of the leaves for about a week. When the shoots grow to four or five leaves, the two or four leaves can be toppled respectively. Repeat the analogy until it grows into a full hemispherical shape. This method starts from the base to top. This method can form a full hemispherical flower shape.

2. Lollipop type

The so-called lollipop type is to let a main branch grow freely, grow to 30 to 50 cm, and then carry out the topping just like this. Keep the three buds on the top and grow three lateral branches respectively. Repeatedly top the three lateral branches to promote the development of lateral branches, and finally form a ball shaped lollipop flower shape on the top

keep 2-3 leaves for topping and coring

In this way, it should be noted that in addition to the topping of the upper part, the lollipop rod-shaped below the branch point, and all the buds sent out above should be wiped in time to prevent damage to the flower shape. And its branches are not very thick, so when the lollipop is in this shape, you can set a bracket for it to help its trunk stand up, which is the way to top
