in principleWhen growing Epiphyllum, in principle, you need to keep 5 to 6 branches in each pot as the skeleton. The coverage of the plant generally needs to be controlled between 1 and 2 meters, and the plant shape should be plump and neat. Generally, the dead branches and leaves on the Epiphyllum need to be pruned in time, and the diseased and weak branches and overly dense branches need to be cut off in time, because these branches and leaves will affect the growth and appearance of the Epiphyllum. When the plant grows taller, a support is needed. However, please note that Epiphyllum itself is not suitable for heavy pruning, and excessive pruning will lead to poor flowering. Key PointsPinch the headPinching the top is an important part of pruning Epiphyllum. Because when the Epiphyllum is growing, the height of the plant needs to be controlled, and pinching the top can remove the apical dominance, so the branches will grow stronger and can grow many side buds. Bud InductionThe main purpose of inducing buds is to shape the grower's ideal shape. By puncturing the growth point in the appropriate place, buds can be induced, making the leaves grow where you need them. ThinningIn addition to helping the Epiphyllum maintain a good shape when its growth is messy, thinning branches can also improve its poor flowering. Reasonable pruning can inhibit the consumption of nutrients. Cutting off the stems and leaves that grow abnormally can ensure that the plant has sufficient nutrients to bloom and prevent the root system from becoming too large. Therefore, when pruning Epiphyllum, just do it according to the growth needs and the subjective needs of the grower. |
