1、 Principle:

In order to make its lateral branches germinate faster or easier, we need to remove the top bud on the branch or cut off the whole top. Only when the top bud of the main branch is removed, the advantage of growing all the time on the top can be eliminated, so as to better promote the germination and growth of lateral buds

2、 Practice:

1. Generally, we can pick the heart only when the trunk grows to the appropriate height. This height is about 30 to 50 cm high. We can change the state that it will only grow upright by picking the heart, which can promote the growth of other buds

2. Generally speaking, the buds closer to the top of the branches are easier to germinate. We just leave the closest 2 to 3 buds. In this way, when the branches on the side grow out, the whole tree shape will take on the shape of a cup or a Y-shaped. Picking the heart is easy, but the control of height is extremely important. If the height selected for picking the heart is too high, the shape of the whole tree will be heavy at the top and light at the bottom, which will greatly affect its ornamental ability

3. This height can be selected according to the diameter of the flowerpot. The closer it is, the better. But remember, it's better to be lower than too high

4. If we are faced with some trunks that have shown an upright state, we can save them by cutting them short or cutting buds, so that the bare parts below them can have the growth of side branches. At the same time, it will also change the angle of the main branches and improve their shape

3、 Note:

Generally, the problem of heart picking is not too complicated. As long as you follow the above steps, flower friends don't have to worry too much about hurting the plant
