Pick the heart - control the height and burst the small head

In addition to more sun exposure and less watering, there is a good way to pick the heart

Pinching the heart can not only control the height, but also promote the generation of branches, making the leaves dense and compact. Many flesh such as Guanyin lotus, bear boy, mage and hanging money can be pinched

Heart picking skill

Take black mage as an example. If it doesn't sprout all the time, remove the central leaves one by one from the inside to the outside

Some people think it's troublesome to take off the small head directly. It's simple and rough. It's not impossible, but we must pay attention to keep the wound ventilated and dry, otherwise it will be troublesome if it's black

After picking, put it on the window sill with ventilation and sunshine, watch the soil dry and add some water, and many small heads will come out in a week

Pruning branches - more beautiful plant type

Such fleshy trees as jade trees, golden branches and jade leaves grow too fast, and there will be dense Cross branches and bare branches. If they are not trimmed, the ornamental value will be greatly reduced

Pruning techniques

Lateral branches are usually trimmed best in spring. Take golden branches and jade leaves as an example:

1. First think about what kind of shape you want, cliff style, straight dry or jungle style, oblique dry

2. According to your shape, select a trunk, and then cut off the messy branches around the trunk

Golden branches and jade leaves are very resistant to pruning. Don't be distressed. If you can't cut them, they will grow faster

3. After cutting, many branches will appear. We should constantly top the branches to make them grow more lush. At the same time, we should trim the excessively long branches to maintain a good shape

4. Replenish fertilizer and water, bask in the sun more, change the basin once a year in spring, and you can make a valuable bonsai with golden branches and jade leaves within 3 years

Beheading - exploding pots and flocking

When a fleshy "neck is too long" or "one branch stands out", you can try beheading. Branches will soon emerge. One tree will burst out in a circle. Raising it for 2 years is a group of beautiful meat

Beheading technique

1. For fleshy seedlings that grow in vain, when cutting their heads, the lower branches and stems should retain 2 ~ 3 layers of leaves, and the cut heads can continue cutting

2. When beheading an old pile with a strong main pole like a mage, only the trunk is retained, and the top head is completely cut off. Cut off the water before beheading to keep the soil dry

Keep it ventilated and dry. In about 2 weeks, a circle of head will burst out on the trunk

Pruning flower arrow

Some fleshy flowers will die after flowering, so when the flower bud grows, all the flower arrows should be cut off

Guanyinlian, black mage, zizhilianhua, vasong, mountain rose and other flowers will die, but not the whole plant will die, but the other end of the flower will die
