In order to make its lateral branches faster or easier to germinate, we need to take off the top bud of the branch or cut off the whole top. Only when the top bud of the main branch is taken off, the advantage of the top growing all the time can be eliminated, so as to better promote the germination and growth of lateral buds.
1. Generally, only when the trunk grows to the appropriate height can the heart be removed. This height is about 30 to 50 cm high. We can change the state that it will only grow upright through the heart removal, so as to promote the growth of other buds.
2. According to the general situation, the closer to the top of the branch, the easier it is to germinate. We can leave the closest 2-3 buds, so that when the side branches grow out, the whole tree will take on the shape of a cup or a y-child. It's easy to pick the heart, but the control of height is very important. If the height selected by picking the heart is too high, it will lead to the shape of the whole tree showing a state of top heavy and bottom light, which greatly affects its ornamental
3. The height can be selected according to the diameter of the flowerpot. The closer it is, the better. But remember, it's better to be a little lower than too high
4. If we are facing some trunks that have already presented upright state, we can save them by cutting short or cutting buds, etc., so that the bare part under it can have the growth of side branches, at the same time, it can also play a role in changing the angle of the main branch and improving its modeling effect..
Generally, the problem of picking heart is not too complicated. As long as we follow the above steps, we don't have to worry too much about hurting the plants
