The method of thinning chrysanthemum buds
Sharing flower care常识 about chrysanthemums, the method of thinning chrysanthemum buds, let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
In their natural state, the top of the chrysanthemum branches will grow multiple buds, and many buds will also grow on the branches. If not thinned, each flower of the chrysanthemum will be very small and disorderly. Such chrysanthemums are not beautiful and unattractive.
Therefore, we need to control the number of chrysanthemum blooms, allowing only one flower to bloom at the top of each branch. If a pot of chrysanthemums has three branches, it should only be allowed to bloom three flowers. This way, the bloomed flowers are large, full, and vibrant in color, making the chrysanthemums look beautiful and attractive.
Many buds grow simultaneously at the top of the chrysanthemum branches
Therefore, it is necessary to thin the chrysanthemum buds by the end of September to the beginning of October: remove the excess buds, leaving only one bud per branch, keeping the largest and strongest one, and removing the rest.
Thinning is a careful job. Now, the chrysanthemums we plant always use dwarfing agents, so the bud stems are very short, with 6 to 7 buds densely packed together. It is necessary to carefully remove the excess buds without damaging or breaking the bud to be kept.
The specific method of operation is:
1. Remove the excess buds as early as possible to avoid consuming the nutrients of the chrysanthemum plant. I do the thinning work in the last few days of September and the beginning of October.
2. If the buds are too dense and it is difficult to operate without confidence, it is also possible to delay the thinning work for a few days and let the flower stems grow a bit longer before doing so.
3. Thinning, removing excess buds, can be done by pinching the bud with a finger to remove it; or cutting the bud with scissors; or using tweezers to remove the unnecessary buds... all are possible. The operation must be very careful not to damage or break the bud to be kept.
Before thinning, there are many buds
By the beginning of November, the chrysanthemum flowers are large and colorful
