1. What is topping

Many plants need topping. So what exactly does it mean? In fact, it is very simple to pinch off the top of the plant and remove the growth point of the stem. By doing so, it can eventually increase production. It is also called "removing top edge". For this plant, it is also needed

2. The quantity is better

The topping of this plant is also not difficult, that is, pinch off the leaves on its top. As for its number, generally speaking, the leaves left on the branch should be greater than two. At the base of each leaf, a branch may grow. Therefore, the leaves left must be more than two. However, this is the general principle. As for the specific pinch number, it should be determined according to the specific shape of the plant. Different plant shapes must be different, so the number of topping is also different. In addition, there is a little trick, which is determined according to the season. Generally, three or four pieces can be left in spring and summer. If it's autumn and winter, you can keep four or five. However, this is not the final conclusion. The reader is the most secure according to the actual situation

3. Reference items

(1) The first is the density of branches (the length of branches in the middle of two leaves). If the branch is too long, it's best to pinch it off

(2) Then there is the density and position of this branch relative to other branches. In other words, the direction of the branches from the leaves we leave and the general direction should be consistent. It's not easy to grasp, but just try it a few more times

(3) Topping can be carried out together with thinning leaves. See which part of the leaves are very dense, you can remove some

(4) We need to follow a purpose, which is to ensure that the whole plant is symmetrical
