How to top the Rieger Begonia

How to top the Rieger Begonia

1. Is topping important?

Topping is an important aspect of pruning Begonia. Topping has many meanings for the growth of plants. Firstly, the plant itself has poor branching ability, and needs to be toppled to make up for this disadvantage and promote the germination of branches. Secondly, proper topping can make the plant more beautiful and shape its form. Furthermore, topping can promote the increase in the number of flowers, which is to promote flowering.

2. How to top

Generally speaking, it is done about two weeks after transplanting into the pot. You can also wait until the plant grows about four leaves to start topping. This can effectively inhibit the growth of the top and promote the development of subsequent branches.

3. Other matters needing attention

1. In addition to topping, in order to effectively inhibit excessive growth, you can use some substances such as growth regulators. This combined with topping can achieve better results.

2. In addition to topping, pruning also includes other aspects. Pruning during the flowering period is also very important. Remove excess flower buds in time, otherwise too much nutrients will be consumed, resulting in poor overall flowering effects. In addition, pruning of some yellow leaves, diseased leaves and dry branches should be carried out in a timely manner.

3. After topping, you can expose the plant to more sunlight, which will be beneficial to its recovery and subsequent growth.
