How to hit the top of Petunia

1. What is the top?

Many plants need to be topped. So, what exactly does it mean? In fact, it is very simple to pinch off the tip of the plant and remove the growth point of the stem. By doing so, it can eventually increase its production. It is also called "removing top advantage". For this plant, it is also needed.

2. The quantity is better.

The topping of this plant is also not difficult, that is, pinch off the leaves on its top. As for its number, generally speaking, the leaves left on the branches should be greater than two. A branch may grow at the base of each leaf. Therefore, there must be more than two leaves left. However, this is the general principle. As for the specific number of pinch, but also according to the specific shape of the plant. Different plant shapes are bound to be different, so the number of topping is also different. In addition, there is a trick, that is, according to the season. In general, three or four tablets can be left in spring and summer. If it is autumn and winter, you can keep four or five tablets. However, this is not a foregone conclusion, and readers are sure to be the safest according to the actual situation.

3. Reference items

(1) the first is the density of the branches (the length of the branches between the two leaves). If the overgrowth leads to too long branches, it is best to pinch them off.

(2) then there is the density and position of this branch relative to other branches. In other words, the direction of the branches sent out by the leaves we left behind should be consistent with the general direction. It's not easy to grasp, but it would be nice to try it a few more times.

(3) topping can be carried out with thinning leaves. See which part of the leaf is very dense, you can remove some of it.

(4) We need to follow a purpose, that is, to ensure that the whole plant is symmetrical.
