In potted pitaya, the redundant branches should be removed in the seedling stage, and the more robust and thick branches should be selected to keep; when the plant grows to a height of 10 cm, the center can be cut off, and the sharp knife can be used to cut flat at the top of the plant; in addition, the branches of the plant when it blooms should also be trimmed, and the ones with better flowering, stronger branches and the rest should be trimmed.

Pruning of seedlings

Pruning should be considered from the seedling stage, mainly to remove redundant branches; if these redundant upward growing branches are not pruned in time, these branches will absorb part of the water and nutrients, resulting in all branches not getting enough water and nutrients and become thinner, unable to form flower buds at the flowering stage, they will not bear fruit. When pruning it, select the more robust and thick branches to keep, the rest can be cut off, so that the robust and thick branches can get more sufficient water and nutrients, and play a good early battle for flowering and fruit. The seedlings are pruned about every 10 days.

Cut to the heart

When a plant grows to a height of 10 cm, it can be cut. But this is not a common work like other plants. You need to use a sharp knife to cut flat at the top of the plant. The cut is smooth. It's better to pick the heart at 5cm to 6cm of the plant. It's not recommended to break it directly by hand, which will cause unnecessary damage to the plant and have a great impact on the recovery of the wound.

Topping and pruning

Pruning of branches

This branch is only the branch of the plant when it blooms. It's better to keep and blossom, and the branches are thicker. The rest should be pruned. At this time, many friends are concerned that pruning will affect the number of fruits, but not pruning will cause the quality of all fruits to decline.
