Heart-picking: remove the heart immediately after planting, leaving only 1-2 sections. In the future, with the growth of the seedlings, the heart should be picked repeatedly, and it is appropriate to leave only 1 color and 2 sections on the basis of the original. In order to make the plant short and strong, plump, flower dense.

Remove buds: a bunch of red can blossom many times during the growth period. Generally, under the condition of air temperature 20 ℃ and short sunshine, the red meridian of new shoots can grow and blossom in 25 days. Therefore, after a string of red blossoms, the residual flowers should be cut off in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote flowering again. At the same time, this characteristic can be used to adjust the florescence according to the need. For example, if you want to blossom brightly and neatly on National Day, you can pick the heart for the last time on September 1-5.

Water and fertilizer management: during the growth period, in order to avoid a string of red flowers, you should water less, plow and weed frequently, and topdressing 2Mel 3 times a month.
