Geranium topping method

1. Time Selection

For seedlings that have just started to grow, when the plant grows to 10-15cm, 5 or 6 small leaves have grown on it. At this time, it is necessary to top and pinch the plant, which can effectively control the height of the plant's growth. For adult plants, you can choose to do it in spring and autumn, when the temperature is relatively mild and the impact on the plants is relatively small, which can promote their subsequent growth.

2. Methods and Steps

1. Prepare tools: Before topping and pinching, you must first prepare suitable tools. You can use a pair of sharp scissors that have been sterilized in advance.

2. Determine the position: Before you start, you must first determine the pruning position and nodes. Start looking for the nodes from the top. The top leaves on the main stem and side branches need to be removed. The pruning height is about 3-5cm. It should be noted that for seedlings, the topping length cannot be too long.

3. Trim: After determining the position, you can start trimming. Use scissors to remove that part and keep the cut flat.

4. Post-maintenance: After pruning, you can place it in a cool place, maintain good ventilation conditions, and avoid exposing it to the sun. After the incision has dried, you can carry out normal maintenance, paying attention to watering and fertilizing.
