How to deal with Tia after flowering

1. If multiple succulent plants have only a single plant heading and blooming in the flowerpot, it is suggested that in order to ensure the overall bonsai effect, it can be cut off, or leave it alone, let it grow freely, and will not compete for too much nutrition in the flowerpot.

2. If many plants in the flowerpot have heading and flowering, it will affect the nutrition absorption of Tiya. It is suggested that the branches of heading and flowering should be cut off selectively to ensure the shape and reproductive ability of Tiya in the whole flowerpot.

3. If there is only a single plant in the flowerpot, it is suggested that the uncoordinated flower branches can be selected and cut after heading and flowering, which not only modifies the shape of the flower body, but also reduces the wasted nutrition of heading and flowering.

4. If more than one plant in the flowerpot blossoms, it is recommended to keep the flower as the beauty of the ornamental flower, which will not affect the beauty of the overall shape, but will add color to it. At this time, we should pay attention to maintain the nutrition and moisture in the flowerpot.

5. If the flowering of many plants in the flowerpot is more prosperous, it is recommended to keep the flowers and watch the warm celebration of the flowers, and then prune and ramet after the flowering period. Adequate nutrition, water and light are also needed during flowering.

Matters needing attention

The environment of succulent plants is different, the position is different, and the situation of blooming is different, so it is better to deal with them according to their own breeding conditions.

After the Tiya flowers bloom, don't cut off the heading flowers desperately to preserve nutrition, and you will lose the value of growing flowers and appreciating them.
