Denmark: Cactus trimmer in action at Danish Nursery PKM

PKM Nursery in Denmark utilizes a Christmas cactus trimmer, which automatically takes the tops off the plants to enable them to branch and bloom. Designed and built by Bekidan, the machine squeezes the plants into a "mohawk" haircut shape, then uses brushes to gently but firmly remove the tops. Watch it in action in the video below.
