Why nip the top bud?
The plant top bud will grow preferentially, and the side buds will be inhibited, and there are 2 side buds under each top bud. After removing the top bud, it can promote the growth of the side buds, increase the branches, and naturally double the flowering amount.
Top technique
Cut off 2 to 4 leaves from the top of the branch, and keep the 2 leaves below.
After cutting off, we can see that the following two lateral buds will sprout slowly.
It can also be cut off directly after the terminal bud grows.
What is cross branch?
Branches generally grow towards the outside of the trunk and diverge, but some small branches will grow inward, which is called "cross branch".
Why cut off the cross branch?
The internal light of the branch is weak, such branch can not bloom, there is no "future", it will only consume nutrients, it will interfere with the development of other branches, it must be cut off, leaving "resources" to flowering branches.
In addition, the twigs, weak branches, stuffy heart branches, parallel branches, etc. should be cut off to ensure the beautiful plant type and large amount of flowers.
1. Fertilization
After pruning, you should apply fertilizer immediately. If you have applied fertilizer before pruning, you can not
Before flowering, it's better to apply P and K fertilizer. Because P and K fertilizer have poor mobility in the soil, you can dig a circle of 4-5cm deep pits around the flowerpot, sprinkle the fertilizer in, and then cover the soil, and apply it once a month to February.
2. Water
Osmanthus should be watered according to the principle of "see the dry and see the wet". According to the situation of the dry and wet soil, every 1 to 2 days, water the leaves frequently to keep the air moist.
3. Light: osmanthus is fond of light. The more sufficient the light is, the more flowers will bloom. After the weather turns cool, it can keep the whole day's light.
Osmanthus so, chrysanthemum, Begonia, a string of red is also such a pruning and maintenance, and even a small repair of the rose, but also a wave of flowers!
