Why do flowers pick their hearts?

Topping is to remove the top bud of the branch, weaken the top advantage, and promote its multiple branches. Picks can promote axillary bud germination or inhibit excessive growth of branches, so that plant growth robust, beautiful, increased number of flowers.

Axillary buds easy to sprout or easy to sprout adventitious buds of herbaceous flowers more suitable for picking, such as snapdragon, petunia, cosmos, a string of red, marigold, thousand sun red, aster, phlox, calendula, clover and so on. Plants that are already short or heavily branched should not be picked. General herbaceous flowers, such as a string of red, snapdragon, etc., seedlings after planting, plant height of about 10 cm, it is necessary to hit the top, to promote its multi-branching, multi-flowering. Such as the four seasons begonia, chrysanthemum, etc., seedlings should be picked after planting. However, some of the flowers will reduce the number of flowers after picking, flowers become smaller, such as impatiens, cockscomb flowers, Yu Meiren, flower caltrop, etc. should not be picked. Some woody flowers are mostly carried out in spring when they change pots or when the main branches grow vigorously, which can accelerate the formation of branches, such as pomegranate, rose, plum blossom, poinsettia, leaf flower, etc.
