Last Updated: 2024/11/22, A triangular plum can show a variety of colors at the same time, and is easy to feed, but if it is allowed to grow, it can not form a low spherical plant, in order to maintain its plant type, it must be coring. The specific method is to wait until it grows to 20 to 30 centimeters, cut off the branches, and continue to remove the lateral branches when they grow to about 10 centimeters, but leave three or four leaves for later shaping, and the other top leaves are cut off. Then use the same method to coring the branchlets on the side branches. Note that you can only coring short branches, and if there are long overgrown branches, choose to trim the short section.

1. What is heart-picking?

There are buds at the top of the trunk of each plant, which is why the plant grows taller and less branched. To pick the heart is to remove the buds on the tips of the main branches of the plant, and the terminal buds of the generally vigorous lateral branches should also be removed appropriately according to the situation. Some plants do not pick the heart for a long time will make it too high, the top will also appear a lot of leaf buds, then it is necessary to remove several buds connected to its growth point, also known as the removal of apical dominance.

2. Methods

When the plant is young, there is no need to consider the problem of coring, when it grows to the range of 20 to 30 centimeters, the branches should be cut off. At this time, the plant is in the growth stage, the leaf bud is still very delicate, do not accidentally hurt other buds. After cutting off the shoots, the auxin of the trunk spreads downward and promotes the growth of lateral branches, which will soon divide into multiple lateral branches. According to this method, the side branches grow to about ten centimeters and continue to be removed, but leave three or four leaves for later shaping, remove the other top leaves, and then use the same method to pick the heart of the branchlets on the side branches. After many operations, a "trigeminal nine" spherical plant with nine to twelve lateral branches will be formed. Note that you can only coring short branches, and if there are long overgrown branches, choose to trim the short section.

3. Function

Coring can properly prevent the growth of the trunk, make the plant sprout more lateral branches and prevent it from overgrowing. If you want to make the plant plump, you must dwarf it so that it looks plump and fluffy, and if you want to achieve this effect, you have to pick the heart. Coring can increase the sprouting site of flowers, thus increasing the number of flowers and making the plant more delicate and beautiful when it blooms. Not only that, picking the heart can also delay the time of flowering, if raised well, it can blossom once a year.
