How to raise multi-headed rubies

1. Suitable sunlight

Multi-headed rubies have strict requirements on lighting. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to become longer and greener in color. Strong light exposure can cause the leaves to burn and may even cause them to melt. Therefore, it needs to be shaded in hot climates such as summer, but it should be given sufficient light in other seasons.

2. Keep moist

Multi-headed rubies grow best in a humid environment. The higher the temperature, the greater its need for moisture. In addition to watering every day in summer, you should also sprinkle water appropriately to maintain humidity. You can also spray water on the leaves and then cover them with a plastic bag to keep the environment moist.

3. Keep warm in winter

Multi-headed rubies cannot grow at low temperatures. Too low a temperature can cause them to freeze or even die. In winter, you need to prepare warming measures. You can put it in a warm place indoors, or you can cover it with a plastic bag to keep it warm.

4. Moderate pruning

Some rubies have a single head, and if you want to turn them into multiple heads, they need to be trimmed appropriately. If you want to, just cut off some of the leaves on the top to expose its top buds, and then cut off the stem at the head. After cutting off the top bud, apply carbendazim on the wound for disinfection and avoid getting it wet. Then slowly provide light and side buds will grow on it.
