How to prune the epiphyllum flower
Let me tell you about how to prune the epiphyllum and the pruning methods of catharanthus with some knowledge about flowers and plants. Next is a comprehensive introduction.
Catharanthus, also known as "daily spring" or "four-season spring," has its own unique flower language. The flower language of daily spring is pleasant memories and is the birthday flower for those born on April 10th. Due to its strong viability, the flowers are beautiful and delightful when in bloom, making it widely popular among flower enthusiasts.
Pruning methods for catharanthus:
1. Catharanthus is a herbaceous plant, suitable for potting. However, when growing catharanthus at home, be sure to prune it in time to prevent the plant from growing too tall, which may affect the indoor appearance.
2. Prune before catharanthus flowers. During the period from seedling stage to flowering, mainly use the pinching method for maintenance. When the catharanthus has grown to 4-5 leaves, remove the top bud, and new lateral branches will sprout from each leaf axil. When the lateral branches grow to 4-5 leaves, perform the second pinching. Repeat this process, but avoid pinching more than 3-5 times. The last pinching directly affects the flowering period. After pinching, the plant will form an oval or round structure, making the plant more full and giving a "bursting pot" feeling.
3. Prune after flowering. Catharanthus produces a large number of flowers, and once the top bud flowers fade, it will not flower again. It is necessary to prune the flowering branches in time to allow new lateral buds to grow and bloom again. This prevents the faded flowers from absorbing nutrients and promotes the growth of lateral buds.
4. When pruning catharanthus in summer and winter, promptly cut off the insect-infested branches and withered branches, water and fertilize in time to promote the growth of new lateral buds.
