1. Topping

Pinching is actually topping, which is mainly to promote the branching of flowers and plants, forming a plump plant shape, avoiding the flowers and plants from growing into "bare branches" in the end, increasing the amount of branches and leaves, and at the same time it can also promote the formation of flower buds, allowing the plants to bloom more and more densely!

Topping method:

When the grass flowers grow to four or five centimeters high, the top buds of the branches can be removed.

When the apical bud is removed, the plant will sprout side branches, promoting the differentiation of lateral buds.

2 Thinning

When the branches grow too densely, or there are crossed branches, horizontal branches, or inward branches, we need to prune them in time.

3 Thinning buds and picking withered flowers

When there are too many flower buds, cut off the excess buds in time and leave only the main buds to ensure sufficient nutrient supply, which can make the flowers bloom bigger and brighter.

Remove excess flower buds to ensure adequate nutrients.

4 Short

When the plant grows too tall and does not produce side branches, it is necessary to shorten the plant from one-third to one-half of the main stem to promote the sprouting of side branches. The best time for pruning is generally spring.

5. Root Pruning

Fast-growing flowers need to be repotted every one or two years. When repotting, you must repair the root system in time so that the plants can grow better.

When giving plants pots, carefully check the growth of the roots. If you find any abnormalities, cut them off in time and remove them completely.

If plants are watered too much and water accumulates in the soil for a long time, it can easily lead to root rot. When repotting these plants, the rotten roots should be trimmed off to prevent further infection.

In order to grow, flowers will always grow many tiny roots. When repotting, some of these tiny roots need to be cut off to promote the germination of new roots.

For potted plants, due to the limited space in the pots, if they are not potted in time, the roots of the plants will become tangled and cannot grow normally. If this happens in the pots, you need to carefully clean the roots, prune them appropriately and then replant them.
