Principle

When culturing Epiphyllum, in principle, 5 ~ 6 branches need to be reserved in each pot as the skeleton. The coverage of plants generally needs to be controlled between 1 ~ 2 meters, and the plant type should be plump and neat

Generally, the dead branches and leaves on Epiphyllum need to be trimmed in time. The sick and weak branches and too dense branches need to be cut off in time, because these branches and leaves will affect the growth and beauty of Epiphyllum. Scaffolds need to be set up when the plant grows higher

However, it should be noted that Epiphyllum itself is not suitable for re cutting. Excessive pruning will lead to poor flowering

Key points

Pinch head

Pinching is an important part of Epiphyllum pruning. Because when Epiphyllum grows, the plant needs to control the height. Pinching it can remove the top advantage, the branches will grow stronger, and many side buds can grow

Induced bud

Inducing buds is mainly to shape the ideal shape of the breeder. Stabbing the growth point in the right place can induce buds and make the leaves grow in the place they need

Sparse branch

Thinning branches can not only keep a good shape when Epiphyllum grows disorderly, but also improve the phenomenon of poor flowering. Reasonable thinning of branches can inhibit the consumption of nutrients. Cutting off the stems and leaves with unreasonable growth of Epiphyllum can make it have sufficient nutrients to bloom, and can avoid too large root system

Therefore, when trimming Epiphyllum, it can be operated according to the growth needs and the subjective needs of farmers< span>
