1. What is heart picking

There are buds at the top of the trunk of each plant, which is the reason for the plant to grow higher and reduce branches. Picking the heart is to remove the buds on the tip of the main branch of the plant. Generally, the top buds of the vigorous lateral branches should also be removed appropriately according to the situation. At this time, the buds at the top of the plant will not be pulled out for a long time, and many buds will not be pulled out at the same time

2. Method

When the plant is young, you don't have to consider picking the heart. When it grows to within 20 to 30 cm, cut off the branches. At this time, the plant is in the growth stage, and the leaf buds are still very delicate. Don't hurt other buds by mistake. After cutting off the branch tips, the auxin of the trunk diffuses downward to promote the growth of lateral branches, and multiple lateral branches will be born soon. According to this method, the lateral branches grow to about 10 cm and continue to be removed, but three or four leaves should be left for later modeling, and the other parietal leaves should be removed, and then the branchlets on the lateral branches should be removed in the same way. After many operations, it will form a "Trident nine branch" spherical plant with nine to twelve lateral branches. Note that only the shorter branches can be peeled. If there are too long branches, choose to trim the short section

3. Function

Pinching the heart can appropriately prevent the growth of the trunk, make the plant sprout more lateral branches and prevent its overgrowth. To make the plant plump, it must be dwarfed so that it looks plump and fluffy. To achieve this effect, you can only pick the heart. Picking the heart can increase the sprouting part of the flower, so as to increase the number of flowers and make the plant more beautiful when it opens. Not only that, picking the heart can also delay the flowering time. If you keep it well, you can bloom more once a year
