How to pinch the root of the plant

1. Reasons

Pinching should start when the plant is very small. A big reason for this is that this plant grows very fast. If we neglect to pinch it when it is small, it will easily cause it to grow very tall, making it very difficult for us to grow it as a potted plant.

In addition, we will also find that the pots we need to prepare must be able to bear weight, otherwise the flower pots will easily fall. And if it is too big, its ornamental value will be very low because its stems cannot bear the weight and will bend.

Generally speaking, if we pinch the tips at the wrong time, there will be serious consequences. If it is too early, it will cause problems with the plant's growth, and if it is too late, it will not cause it to dwarf. If we have newly potted plants, we must remember to pinch off the tips when they are young seedlings.

2. Methods

The method of pinching is not difficult. The first thing we need to do is to confirm the time and make sure it is neither too late nor too early. In addition, we must disinfect the scissors we use, otherwise it will easily lead to infection. In addition, when pinching, we only need to cut off a small part and remove the top part, and be careful not to damage the stem when pinching carefully.

After finishing, we also need to bandage the pinched area. This is the most correct method, because if we don’t do this, it will easily cause the wound to fester. After finishing everything, we still need to provide it with what it needs, such as water and fertilizer, so that its side branches can grow. We must remember to change its pot every spring so that we can always provide it with what it needs. When there are diseases and insects, we must also remember to kill the insects.
