Why does it grow so wide?When cultivating Christmas cactus, the phenomenon of the plant growing very wide is mostly because it is not properly pruned and shaped during cultivation, causing the plant to grow excessively and become very loose. When Christmas cactus appears to grow too large, it needs proper pruning and shaping. pruneWhen growing Christmas cactus, it is best to prune the plant in a timely manner because it grows rapidly. First of all, in order to prevent the whole plant from growing too big, it needs to be pruned back when the diameter is over 50cm. Pruning is mainly done in spring. At the same time, some aging branches and branches that grow too densely also need to be cut off. After pruning, Christmas cactus will not grow excessively and will grow new branches, which will make it bloom more vigorously. And when you trim it, you are also shaping it. LashingIn addition to pruning, the Christmas cactus should be tied up while it is growing. Generally, when the Christmas cactus plant grows to 3 to 5 years old, it can be tied up. At this time, you can use 3-4 thick lead wires as supports and insert the lead wires into the soil. Make the upper part of the lead wire into a circular bracket and tie the branches of Christmas cactus to the circular bracket. Be careful not to let the branches overlap or be too scattered, and remove those uneven branches to make the whole plant appear umbrella-shaped. This is more conducive to viewing. |
