How to shape Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia

Dwarfing of Ornithogalum

To beautify the shape of the Ornithogalum, it needs to be continuously dwarfed. The branches of Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia sometimes grow very tall, and usually there are more than dozens of flowers blooming. The gravity will be relatively large, and the branches are relatively slender, so they are prone to lodging, so they need to be dwarfed.

To dwarf the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia, after the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia has grown flower buds, you can use a knife to scrape the epidermis under the flower buds until the upper end of the bulb. In this way, the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia can be made to grow in a bend to one side. After a few days, the epidermis is peeled off in the opposite direction to make it bend in the opposite direction. This way, the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia can grow in an S shape. Repeat this step again after it has taken shape. Doing this several times will allow the plant to continue to bend and grow, and the plant will become shorter.

In addition to scraping multiple times, you can also do it once. When the Ornithogalum plant is about 40 cm tall, scrape it. Note that the wound can be longer, but it needs to be fixed with wire.

Ornithogalum beauty

The beauty treatment of Ornithogalum mainly involves pruning leaves and beautifying bulbs. When pruning leaves, you should cut them off when they are very long. This will make the leaves more beautiful and the plant more compact and elegant.

The main way to beautify bulbs is to remove the bracts that grow on the bulbs and affect their appearance.

Ornithogalum bulb shape

When planting multiple plants, plant the appropriate number in the flowerpot, or keep only an odd number of Ornithogalum plants and remove the rest. Small plants growing on the plant can be retained, but they should not cover the main body.

When planting a single bulb, you need to plant the beautiful Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia and manage the water and fertilizer well to accelerate the growth of the bulb. In order to appreciate the bulb, you can remove the leaves above the bulb, which is also very interesting.
