The branches need to be treated before cutting. When selecting branches, you should choose the branches with strong growth, take them off with a knife, and note that the wound should be smooth and preferably at an oblique angle of 45 °when taking the branches. The branches can be cut flat at the nodes of the leaves, usually cut flat above the nodes with a knife, and cut off the excess branches, leaving only two leaves. The remaining leaves also need to be cut off in part, preferably in half, so that when cutting, the evaporation of water can be reduced and it is easier to survive.

When does hydrangea spend on pruning?

The pruning of hydrangea is divided into many situations, among which in the whole growth process of hydrangea, once the residual branches and diseased leaves are found, they should be pruned in time to avoid the waste of nutrition and the infection of bacteria. And for some residual flowers without ornamental value, they should also be combed to a certain extent, and the residual flowers can be cut off directly. The withered branches after blooming also need to be pruned.

Hydrangea flowering needs a lot of nutrition, and its flowering period is very long, so proper pruning should be carried out after the two flowering seasons of spring and autumn. Spring post-flowering pruning is mainly above the bud point, while autumn post-flowering pruning is mainly branches, and also pruning a little shorter.
