1、 Preparation tools

Before beheading, first prepare appropriate tools, because its stem is relatively thick, so scissors are not suitable. They are easy to squeeze and form scars. You can prepare a sharp small knife, which must be disinfected and cannot be used directly. Also prepare carbendazim or plant ash for sterilization and disinfection, which can be easily applied to the wound for sterilization. It has sharp spines on the whole plant. In order to prevent being stabbed, you can prepare a pair of gloves

2、 Find the right position

Beheading is generally due to its excessive length, resulting in high height and affecting the ornamental performance. Therefore, the selection of position should be determined according to the excessive length. If the excessive length is serious, the position should be selected as the partial root and the upper part should be elongated. If the overgrowth degree is light, the position can be biased towards the top, and the upper part can be cut off less

3、 Start beheading

After putting on gloves, hold the top of the plant and cut it with a knife in the other hand according to the selected position. When cutting, it should be in place in one step, clean and tidy to ensure that the wound is smoother

4、 Subsequent operation

The cut part can be slightly dried and then planted in a sand bed. For the beheaded old plant, the wound should be kept away from water
