How to pinch back a mother of thousands? Learn the correct pinching method

The mother of thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana) is a succulent plant. Its body is very long, with leaves reaching ten to twenty cm in length, and the body can grow to about 1.5 m, so many people grow this flower for ornamental purposes. It looks very eye-catching in the home, but it being too tall is also not good, so we need to pinch it back to control its height, let its side buds grow, make it more beautiful, and also solve the problem of pot cultivation.

I. Reasons

1. Pinching back should start when the plant is very small, because the plant grows very fast, especially this kind of plant, so we cannot neglect it when it is small. If we do not pinch it back, it will easily grow wildly, and by that time pot cultivation becomes very difficult.

3. If the timing of pinching back is not chosen correctly, serious consequences will result. If you pinch back too early, the plant will become short and stubby, causing problems with the plant's growth. If it is too late, that will not work either; if it is too late, it cannot be dwarfed, so as long as there is a newly potted plant, be sure to remember to pinch it back during its seedling stage.

II. Method

1. The method of pinching back is not difficult. We need to grasp the timing of pinching back. First, we must confirm the timing of pinching back, making sure it is neither too early nor too late. In addition, we must disinfect our scissors, otherwise the plant can easily become infected with bacteria. When pinching back, we only need to cut off a small part of the plant, just removing the top part. When pinching back, we must not damage its stem, otherwise it will affect the plant's growth and development.

2. After finishing, note that you also need to bandage the pinched area. This is the most correct finishing action; otherwise the pinched area will rot. After doing all this, we need to provide it with nutrients and water to supply its growth, so that the pinched area heals faster, and we also need to prevent pests and diseases.

2. In addition, the pot we use for growing it has to bear a certain amount of weight. If it grows very large and very heavy, it will easily fall over, so we need to secure the main stem of the plant well, to avoid the branches breaking because they cannot bear the weight.

The above is the method for pinching back a mother of thousands. Did everyone learn it? Pinching back a mother of thousands requires great care, because if the pinching is not done well, it affects the plant's future growth, and if the pinched area does not heal successfully, it will become infected with pathogens, so when pinching back, everyone must be careful, careful, and careful again!
