What is pinch tip? What does pinching mean? 10 points

1. Agricultural technical terms

In order to destroy the top advantage of the plant and make the lateral buds and fruit branches of the plant grow more lush, the tip of the plant is often removed in agriculture. Since the tip of the plant is the site where auxin is produced, auxin has polar transport characteristics and will be transported downward from the tip, so the auxin concentration is highest in the side buds of the plant. High-concentration auxin inhibits plant growth, while low-concentration auxin promotes plant growth, so the top of the plant often has a growth advantage. Plants that remove the top can better develop lateral buds and increase the seed-setting rate.

2. Popular terminology

① Folks often refer to schools’ centralized recruitment of top students as pinching the top.

②In common proverbs, the practice of attacking, attacking, and being jealous of outstanding people is called pinching. It means "if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them".

When should the rubber tree be pinched?

The rubber tree is also known as the Indian banyan tree and the Indian gum tree. There is latex in the plant, the leaves are wide and leathery, and the young buds are red. It likes a warm and humid climate, likes plenty of light, and tolerates shade. The suitable growth temperature is 20-25℃.

The rubber tree is evergreen all year round, with thick and wide leaves, dark green and bright, strong adaptability and easy cultivation. It is a rare material for indoor greening at home. Arrange according to the size of the plants. Small ones can be placed on windowsills, bedside, coffee tables, desks, and flower stands with scattered light or sunlight. Large ones can be placed low next to the sofa, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the corners. The following is a detailed introduction to how to raise rubber trees:

1. Selection of flower pots for rubber tree cultivation

(1) Flower pot quality requirements: clay flower pots, plastic flower pots can be used Cultivation in pots, porcelain pots and ceramic pots.

(2) Pot size: Rubber trees can be planted in pots with a pot diameter of 20-30 cm.

2. Pot soil preparation for rubber tree cultivation

Rubber trees like fertile, loose, sandy soil. The culture soil can be prepared by mixing 1/3 of leaf humus soil, garden soil and river sand, and a small amount of cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. The young plants should be repotted every other year.

3. Watering methods for rubber tree cultivation

Rubber trees like water and moisture, but avoid waterlogging and cannot tolerate drought. In spring and autumn, the pot soil should be kept moist, and water should be frequently sprinkled on the leaves and surroundings to increase air humidity.

Rubber trees require a lot of water in summer and need to be watered every day to keep the pot soil moist and increase the frequency of watering. When the temperature is low in winter, it is better to keep the pot soil moist when watering. However, when the temperature is around 10°C in winter, the pot soil should be kept moist. When the pot soil is dry, leaves tend to fall.

4. Fertilization methods for rubber tree cultivation

Rubber trees like fertilizer, but avoid nitrogen fertilizer. When there is too much nitrogen fertilizer, the stem nodes will be elongated, the distance between leaves will be widened, and the plant shape will not be beautiful.

Every 20 days during the growing season of young plants, apply decomposed 10 times liquid fertilizer mixed with the same amount of 500 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once, or 1000 times "Huaduoduo" general fertilizer twice. To control the height of the established plants, mixed liquid fertilizer can be applied once every 2 months during the growing season.

5. Light and temperature requirements for rubber tree cultivation

Rubber trees require sufficient light to grow, but they are also relatively tolerant of shade. Therefore, indoor maintenance should be placed near a south-facing window. Adequate place and pay attention to air circulation. The overwintering temperature needs to be kept above 10°C. Long-term low temperatures and moist pot soil can easily cause root rot.

When cultivated at home, it is usually moved outdoors for maintenance from late April to early October every year. Just pay attention to the need for shade at noon in hot summer.

6. Four-season management methods for rubber tree breeding

(1) Spring management

Change pots every spring when the temperature stabilizes at around 15°C. Before changing pots Prune appropriately.

Rubber trees are robust and easy to manage. In spring, it should be placed in a sunny place, keep the pot soil moist, and spray water around it frequently to increase the air humidity. Fertilizer can be started after the young plants see new leaves growing. When the temperature is high in late spring, move it to a room with half light or scattered light for arrangement and cultivation.

(2) Summer management

Rubber trees can withstand high temperatures and scorching sun, but when the light is too strong, the leaves tend to lose their luster, which is not conducive to viewing. Rubber trees can be placed indoors in a brightly lit area. Indoors with weak light are not conducive to its growth.

Because rubber trees have many and large leaves and consume a lot of water, they should be watered in time to keep the pot soil moist. At the same time, spray the leaves and surroundings more often to meet their requirements for air humidity.

(3) Autumn management

In autumn, potted plants should be moved to a sunny windowsill or balcony for cultivation, and the pot soil should be kept moist. When the temperature is high at noon, potted plants should be placed around them. Sprinkle the leaves with water spray to increase air humidity.

In autumn, in order to enhance its cold resistance, it can be exercised at low temperatures outdoors for a period of time, but it should not be exposed to frost. It should be moved indoors with light before frost.

(4) Winter management

Rubber trees are not cold-tolerant and can withstand short-term low temperatures of 0°C. However, the indoor temperature should be kept at about 5℃. At this time, the rubber tree's growth is in a stagnant state. Sufficient light should be ensured to make the pot soil moist and dry. If the pot soil is too wet, roots will easily rot. When the temperature is high at noon, the surrounding Sprinkle the leaves with water several times.

When the indoor temperature is kept above 15℃, rubber trees can grow normally, and management can be seen in spring.

7. Propagation methods for rubber tree cultivation

Cuttings are often used for propagation. The cutting time should be carried out in spring and autumn. If the cuttings are not watered properly in summer, the cuttings will rot easily. When cutting, cut off the annual semi-lignified branches and cut off the young and tender parts at the tips. The selected sections will have the highest survival rate as cuttings. The cuttings are 2 to 3 sections long. Keep the upper leaf and cut it in half, or roll up the remaining leaves with a string and tie them up to facilitate cutting and reduce water transpiration. When cutting, first seal the upper and lower incisions of the cuttings with cement to prevent excessive juice from flowing out and affecting survival. Then insert the cuttings into plain sand and place at a temperature of 20...>>

Newbies, please tell me what topping is?

Topping is also called topping and pinching. The principle is to remove the growth points of stems, inhibit auxin secretion, promote plant branches, and achieve the purpose of more flowers and fruits. Specific method: When the seedlings grow to 7~8cm, pinch off the top of the plant.
