Black Magician's Head Cutting
Answering netizens' questions about the related knowledge of the Black Magician plant, Black Magician's head cutting. The site editor will introduce to the netizens next.
Before the New Year, I cut the top off a Black Magician plant that grew crooked, leaving only a bare stem. After the New Year, I found that countless lateral buds had sprouted. It seems that this will be a good seedling for a cluster-style bonsai. However, when cutting with a knife, you can't be indecisive; you must be decisive. Otherwise, it will cause a tearing wound that is not easy to heal. However, the tenacity of Crassulaceae is beyond your imagination, of course, provided you don't spoil it.
“Cutting the top” is actually “pinching the terminal bud” in crop production, which is called “apical dominance” in botany. During the growth and development of plants, there is a close relationship between the terminal bud and the lateral bud. When the terminal bud grows vigorously, it will inhibit the growth of the lateral bud. If the terminal bud stops growing for some reason, some lateral buds will grow rapidly. This phenomenon of the terminal bud's优先 growth, inhibiting the development of lateral buds, is called “apical dominance.” Therefore, removing the terminal bud naturally causes many lateral buds to sprout. This is also the quickest way to turn one肉 plant into multiple plants, and this method is often used for propagation in the succulent greenhouse.
