What to do if the large-leaf green philodendron grows too tall
Today, I will explain in detail how to deal with the situation where the large-leaf green philodendron grows too tall and share some knowledge about the pruning methods of the large-leaf green philodendron column. Next, let me give you a detailed answer.
Cacti are plants with spines all over their bodies, and many people keep spiny cacti at home. Generally, people keep them to appreciate their flowers. However, many people have cacti at home that are covered with small balls but never bloom. Why do these cacti grow small balls and not bloom? In fact, if you master the skills, these small balls can be properly handled, and the old cactus can bloom, and the small balls can become multiple pots.
Why do cacti grow small balls? Because during the growth of the cactus, the areoles are supposed to bloom. If the conditions for blooming are not met, it will naturally grow some small balls to replace the formation of flower buds, so this is a normal phenomenon. If we want to prevent the growth of small balls at home, we must remember to ensure sufficient sunlight, regular fertilizer supplementation, and not water too frequently. If the small balls have covered the whole cactus, we should remove each small ball. If the size of the ball is about one centimeter, most of these small balls can be removed with aerial roots, and those without aerial roots can also be planted.
After removing these lateral buds, let's talk about how to make the old cactus bloom. We place the old cactus in the sunlight. Since the old cactus is larger, it does not require frequent watering. Generally, we water it once a month, but when watering, we need to supplement it with fertilizer, specifically phosphorus and potassium fertilizers like potassium dihydrogen phosphate. After using this, with sufficient sunlight and enough phosphorus, and temperatures above 15 degrees, the cactus you keep can quickly grow flower buds.
How do we plant the small balls we have removed? First, let the small balls dry for about three days to allow the wounds at the bottom to heal. Then find some soil with a moisture content of 30% to 50%, which is slightly moist soil, and plant the small balls directly. Place the bottom of the small balls on the soil surface or slightly buried in the soil and then put them in an environment with scattered light. As long as the temperature is suitable, these small balls will naturally grow roots. Once the small balls have grown roots, their growth will be very fast. As long as you provide more sunlight and supplement some fertilizer, they can grow rapidly. When the balls grow larger, they can bloom again.
Blooming a cactus is simple; its only requirement is to have sufficient sunlight because it is a strong sun-loving flower. Only under sufficient sunlight can it not grow tall and continuously produce flower buds. If your cactus keeps growing small balls and you don't want to plant them, you should remove them when they are small and not keep them, maintaining a single large ball. Avoid watering too frequently, ensure sufficient sunlight, and appropriately supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. It can quickly grow flower buds and even bloom in full bloom.
