Besides regular watering and podkarmlivaniye practically all ornamental plants need purposeful forming of krone. Timely regulation of growth of escapes allows not only to give to plant beautiful, accurate silhouette, but also stimulates its development. The main receptions in creation of desirable form of flowers are their nipping and cutting. And if practically all flower growers are well familiar with cutting of plants, then the question of how it is correct to prishchipyvat flowers, nonpluses often many.
Instruction
1. In fact there is nothing difficult in this case. Nipping call mechanical removal of upper part of escape with the purpose to awaken the sleeping kidneys, to strengthen its kustistost or to achieve more active growth of side escapes. It is possible to Prishchipyvat plant fingers (nails), by means of cuticle scissors or small sharp knife.
2. The nipping is carried out or in the spring, during the most active growth of plant, or at the beginning of August for improvement of quality of flowers. It must be kept in mind that the nipping distances the beginning of blossoming therefore it is not necessary to abuse it and as soon as the plant gets desirable form, to stop prishchipyvat it.
3. Correctly to carry out flower nipping, it is necessary to examine attentively its top escapes and to find on them growth point. Point of growth call the upper, large kidney on escape at the expense of which there is its active growth. If to leave it without changes, escape will begin to be extended intensively in height, without giving collateral branches and weakening itself therefore it is prishchipyvat.
4. Having found the upper active kidney, fingers accurately take the deleted part of escape and nails pinch off the chosen fragment. For the dense, stiffened trunks it is possible to use cuticle scissors, garden secateurs or knife. At nipping it is necessary to watch that the next young leaflets were not rumpled and the trunk of escape did not crack.
5. The nipping does not stop completely growth of escape in height, after a while it will renew, but until side kidneys will also have opportunity to reveal and go to growth. It is necessary to consider that removal of upper part of escape stimulates awakening of the sleeping kidneys near the place of nipping. Therefore if additional escapes in this place are undesirable, then after emergence of the first sprouts the woken-up kidneys will need to be removed also carefully.
