How to climb the vine, top the seedlings / set up brackets / evenly bind / strengthen maintenance

As we all know, nasturtium has semi-vine characteristics, so if properly maintained, it can climb on the support, walls, of course, the premise is that some skills are needed, and nasturtium how to climb vines? From when do we need to trim? and when to set up the stent? Small face editor will come to answer your questions.

How to climb the vine

1. Topping at seedling stage

When the nasturtium is propagated, it will take root after 2-3 weeks, and when it grows 7-8 leaves, it can be removed. The purpose of this is to let it germinate lateral branches and facilitate its climbing vines. Otherwise, the main vine is too long and the lateral branches are too few, so climbing vines is difficult to achieve.

2. Set up support

After picking the heart, timely supplement fertilizer and water, and then about 10 days its new branches will grow out, and when the height of the plant reaches 15-20 cm, confirm the critical period of climbing vines, at this time, how does Nasturtium climb vines? It is necessary to set up the support in time, and then bind the vines of nasturtium evenly on the support, so that the leaves face in one direction.

3. Daily maintenance

With the growth of nasturtium, its branches and leaves will become longer and longer, so it needs to be tied up in time according to the growth of the stem, so that it can be evenly distributed on the support, and at the same time, it is necessary to pinch the tip. The method can be described in detail in How to prune nasturtium.

Planting Management of Nasturtium

1, climbing vine growth of nasturtium is very beautiful, and the reason why it should face the leaves in one direction, because its flowers, leaves have phototaxis, it prefers the environment with light, so it needs to change the position according to the light in time, in order to let its leaves, flowers grow in one direction, otherwise it is easy to appear messy.

2, in the growth period, it takes 3-4 weeks to fertilize once, and each time after fertilization to timely watering, but also pay attention to often loose soil, so that the soil to maintain sufficient permeability, fertilizer absorption, root development are beneficial, if the soil is too hardened, will cause root growth blocked.

3, winter temperature can not be lower than 8 degrees, usually to keep the temperature between 15-25 degrees, too much temperature difference will cause yellow leaves, and in autumn after the temperature drops, you need to put it indoors sunny place, can keep the leaves of nasturtium in winter is still green.

4. The probability of nasturtium infection with diseases and insect pests is relatively small, but we cannot ignore the harm of diseases and insect pests. It will mainly be damaged by leaf miner moth, mosaic disease, etc. Prevention is to strengthen daily maintenance management, treatment is to spray dimethoate emulsifiable concentrate, etc., and when diseased plants are found, they should be removed in time.

How to trim nasturtium, nasturtium topping method/time and technique are very important

We know that nasturtium has the characteristics of winding tendril growth, if it is allowed to grow without care, its branches may be intertwined together and appear messy, although this is its natural growth state, but it is not beautiful and also affects the light transmission between branches and leaves, so it needs to be pruned in time, so how to prune nasturtium? When does the nasturtium top? And Xiaobian together to understand the correct pruning method.

How to trim nasturtiums

When pruning nasturtiums, techniques such as topping, thinning and shortening are generally used, among which topping is the most critical, which can control the growth of nasturtiums so that they do not grow too high and too fast, while thinning is often carried out after the mature plants, which can keep the whole nasturtiums more beautiful.

When does the nasturtium top?

Topping is also called topping. It needs to be carried out from the time of nasturtium seedling. Generally, it needs to wait until it grows 7-8 leaves, remove the top bud, and then let it continue to grow. The whole seedling stage may be topped 1-3 times.

Although removing its buds at the seedling stage may seem to hinder the growth of nasturtium, it can actually promote the growth of nasturtium. It can allow more lateral branches to sprout and make its overall plant height not too high, otherwise it may not be able to be placed indoors due to space problems.

Pruning method of nasturtium

How to prune nasturtiums at mature stage? At this point it needs to be thinned and truncated. Thinning is to cut off a part of its dense, messy branches; short cutting is to cut off the vines with scissors to prevent it from growing too fast laterally.

In order to make the overall plant shape more beautiful, it is also necessary to use a support or line for traction, so that it grows in the expected direction, in order to make it more beautiful at the same time. In addition, thinning and truncation may be used many times during the growth of nasturtium, depending on the growth of plants and personal aesthetics.

post-pruning maintenance

1, after topping do not need to immediately fertilize, watering, you can wait until it grows a few centimeters after the new branch and then add fertilizer and water, and in the seedling stage, when the plant grows to about 15 cm, it is best to set up a support, and the main vine tied to the support with a line, can make it into a plant to achieve the ideal shape.

2, adult pruning, you can add a certain amount of water after the completion of pruning, but try to avoid water spilled to the cut. In addition, when transplanting nasturtiums, you can also trim their roots, but only cut off the excess fibrous roots, do not hurt the main roots.

A detailed explanation of nasturtiums (topping)

Nasturtium deliciosa and nasturtium deliciosa topping are the same meaning, the purpose is to control the plant type, so that nasturtium deliciosa long branches and more flowers, of course, nasturtium deliciosa does not have to deliciosa topping, this mainly depends on whether the flower friend wants to do so.

Topping (topping) of nasturtium is not suitable for premature operation. It needs to be judged according to the seedling situation properly. If the seedling is too small, topping will not only promote the growth of the seedling, but also weaken the growth of the seedling. This is very unfavorable to it. Any plant is the same reason. Therefore, the time of topping is very particular. Generally speaking, topping of nasturtium depends not only on the number of true leaves, but also on the length of branches. At least, the length of branches exceeds 10 cm. More than 8 leaves can be carried out, if the branches are very short, even if the true leaves are more, there is no need to consider topping.

The method of picking the heart of nasturtium is very simple. The position of the red box in the picture below is the heart of the seedling. Just take it off. It is so simple.
