How to dwarf canna potted plants

1. Stem cutting method

This method is to cut the rhizomes of canna into small pieces, each small piece should have two or three buds on it, and set them aside. Then choose a larger flowerpot and plant the cut small rhizomes in it. It is enough to plant two small pieces in each flowerpot. The planting depth is between 8 cm and 10 cm, and base fertilizer must be placed in the potting soil in advance. After planting, you need to water it thoroughly. After the leaves grow out, you can carry out normal water and fertilizer management to promote the growth of stems and leaves. When the stems and leaves reach 30 to 40 cm in height but have not yet bloomed, they should be pruned, that is, all the stems should be cut off without leaving any branches or leaves. After pruning, thin liquid fertilizer should be applied twice a week. If there is sufficient nutrition after cutting the stems, it will sprout again soon. At this time, trim them neatly and shorten the stems and leaves again. It will bloom in about a month. After flowering, in order to allow canna to continue to bloom many times, it is necessary to cut its stems thinly in June and September. Generally, it will bloom again after a month!

2. Paclobutrazol mud pill method

Some varieties of canna do grow quite tall, which greatly affects their ornamental value. At this time, you can choose to use multi-effect dampening to shorten the plant. The specific method is: use 15% concentration of multi-effect 1g mixed with 1kg of clay and mix evenly, then add appropriate amount of water, and knead the clay into small mud balls. The size of the balls can be about the size of ping-pong balls, about thirty are needed, and then dry these mud balls for later use. After the stems and leaves of the potted canna reach a height of between 20 cm and 30 cm, you can use some mud balls in the pot. Generally, 5 balls are used in a flower pot and buried on the edge of the flower pot. The next step is to water it. The purpose is to allow the medicinal ingredients in the mud balls to slowly dissolve and penetrate into the root system of the canna, causing it to dwarf.
