1、 Reasons for heart picking:

The branching nature of this plant itself is relatively poor, so it is necessary to remove those redundant hearts to promote the growth of base branches. The general requirement is to start topping after planting seedlings in the basin for two weeks. In order to make the lateral branches grow and sprout and better shape the shape of this plant, the potted Rieger Begonia should pick the heart during its growth period, so that the flowers can be more beautiful and plump when it blooms. It can be properly removed and cut off the redundant and useless flowers, so as to maintain nutrients

2、 Operation method:

1. When the seedling of this plant grows to the height you expect, you can directly pinch off its top with your fingers, which can be beneficial to the growth of new branches on the side. Or you can wait until its young seedling grows to about 10 cm high, remove one-third or one-half of the top, or remove it 0.5 cm up from the axillary bud

2. After the seedlings of more flowers are removed at the top of the main branch, the top advantage of this plant will be distributed to the buds below the pinched place, and three to four branches will grow below the pinched place, which will be used to replace the growth of the middle trunk. After the first removal of the excess flower center, after a period of time, the new branch growing on the side will grow well. At this time, it is necessary to remove its heart for the second time, that is, remove it again on the top of the new branch growing on the side, so that more new branches can grow

3、 Points to note:

1. The sprouting of new branches is usually after the weather starts to cool in autumn, so when picking the heart, pour a lot of water on it to supplement its water, so that it can grow better

2. We should give the pinched Rieger Begonia enough light to meet its growth needs

3. Moreover, the temperature of its growth environment should not be lower than 10 ° C, otherwise it will hinder its growth
