The purpose of plucking the heart and topping is to make the flower more branched, restrain the crazy growth of the trunk, and prevent the flower from finally becoming the "commander of light". At the same time, the increase of branches will form more bracts, thus promoting the overall shape of the flower.
Today, Huahua will show you how to pick the heart and hit the top
Want to burst basin friend, the first pick must be early, can't wait until the seedlings have become a "tree" to pick.
I. first heart plucking: seedling stage
1. Remove 1-2 pairs of blades.
When the seedlings grow about 8 leaves, they begin to pick the heart. Remove 1-2 pairs of leaves from the center, leaving about 4.
2. Pick the big leaves covered
Remove the large leaves that cover the bottom part of the branches, expose the branches, and promote the growth and development of the bottom branches.
2. The second heart removal: before transplanting and planting the seedlings
The second coring was carried out before the seedlings were planted in large pots.
1. Leave 2-3 pairs of leaves for each branch.
Remove the growing flowers again, leaving 2-3 pairs of leaves for each branch.
2. Transplanting and planting
First, put a wet paper towel on the bottom of the basin, spread a matrix of about 3cm (peat and perlite, ratio 8:2), spread two chicken manure evenly on it, and then spread a layer of matrix of 45cm thick, and pour through the basin soil.
III. continue to take care of the following maintenance
After moving the basin, we should continue to pick the heart of Changchun flower, so as to separate more branches and prepare for the future blooming into a ball.
Leave 2-3 pairs of leaves in the thick branches, keep the small ones still for a while, and pick them when they are as long and strong as possible. Then, wait for the flowers to bloom.
If Geranium from the beginning of the seedlings to pay attention to the top trimming plant shape, it is easy to grow beautiful flowers.
I. topping at Seedling Stage
If Geranium wants to be more branched in later stage, it is necessary to cut 2-3 pairs of leaves at the top during seedling stage.
2. Topping in seedling stage
If the main stem grows too vigorously, it will lead to "one branch stands alone", which will affect the development of lateral branches. Cut it from the position shown in the figure (cutting here is easy to take root), and cut the branches for cutting.
3. Top the flower before opening.
After the Pelargonium grows the flower bud on the same day, if it leaves the flower bud to bloom, it will affect the growth of the lateral branch. Can cut the upper half of the cuttage, a tree into two
4. Continue to pick the heart and strengthen the branches
In the plant body is thick, the plant shape is full before should always take heart.
Petunia want to burst pot, the most important is to promote branching and control the direction of branch growth, and the most effective way is to pick the heart.
1. Pick the heart of the seedling
In Petunia seedlings, to the heart of the two leaves off, promote branching.
2. Picking flowers and cutting leaves
Cut off the first flower and other buds, leaving about 4 - 6 large leaves.
2. Cut the branches.
Do not willing to cut off the branches and throw away the flower friends, you can choose hydroponics cuttings, such as long as the roots and then soil culture.
3. Keep the branches symmetrical and even.
When topping, try to make sure the direction of the branches is symmetrical and even, so that the shape of Petunia will be more beautiful.
5. Cut off the branches outside the bottom basin.
Cut the branches that extend out of the basin from the bottom, otherwise, it is not easy to form flower balls.
6. Continue to pick the heart and cut the branches in the later stage, waiting for the ball to explode
