In the cultivation of Christmas Cactus, there is a very open phenomenon, most of which is due to the lack of proper pruning and modeling, resulting in excessive plant growth, and very loose.
When the Christmas Cactus appears to be too open, it needs to be properly trimmed and shaped.
In the cultivation of Christmas Cactus, because of the rapid growth of plants, it is best to prune in time. First of all, in order to avoid the overgrowth of the whole plant, it is necessary to carry out short cutting when the canopy diameter is more than 50cm, which is mainly carried out in spring. At the same time, it is also necessary to cut off some aging branches and branches with too dense growth. After pruning, the Christmas Cactus will not overgrow, and will grow new branches, which will make it bloom more vigorously. And when pruning, it is also pruning for its shape.
In addition, in addition to pruning, is in the growth of crabmail binding.
Generally, when the plant of crabmail grows to 3-5 years, it can be bound. At this time, 3-4 thick lead wires can be used as pillars to insert the lead wires into the soil. The upper part of the lead wire is made into a round support, and the branches of Christmas Cactus are tied on the round support. Pay attention not to make the branches overlap and be too scattered, and remove the uneven branches to make the whole plant present umbrella shape. This is more conducive to viewing.
