The so-called blue snowflake topping, in flower cultivation is actually known as the heart picking, its purpose is to remove the growth of the front end of the plant, the young shoots to promote the germination of the lower buds to grow new branches.
When a branch grows to have five or six leaves, remove the front shoots and keep three or five leaves at the bottom. In this way, the buds at the base of each reserved leaf can be preserved to form new lateral branches after germination.
We keep three of them with more robust growth angle and more symmetrical continuous cultivation. When the upper branches of the newly grown branches grow to four or five leaves, we keep two or three leaves at the bottom, and then remove the young part at the front. In this way, the leaves of each side branch can grow another two or three side branches, and the analogy can be repeated until the satisfactory columnar shape is achieved. It can let its lateral branches sprout, at the top of the lateral branches can form flower buds to bloom, so generally speaking, this kind of topping, each one can be carried out 3 to 4 times during maintenance..
