How to trim large leaves gardenia

1. The purpose of pruning

(1) because the germination ability of this plant is relatively strong. In that case, if the pruning is carried out irregularly, it may result in many branches overlapping and very messy. In that case, it will cause the result that the tree shape is not good-looking. This is what we often call the phenomenon of overgrowth.

(2) second, if it is not pruned, some branches of the plant will not be able to grow very thick and look powerless. This will make the plant look thin. Moreover, if you miss a good time for pruning, no matter how you cut it later, it won't work well.

(3) the third is the question of buds. If it is not cut, the buds may become fewer and some branches will not be able to conceive buds.

2. Specific methods

(1) for the purpose of plastic surgery, only three trunk branches will be left. Cut off all the lateral branches that probably germinated from the base of the three selected branches. By doing so, the upper middle part of the lateral branch can grow out.

(2) next, let's talk about the methods of spring. At this time, don't cut the side branches. This is done to promote it to blossom. However, after flowering, the flowers are all withered, so it is necessary to truncate the flowering branches. This can effectively promote the emergence of the following new branches.

(3) when the new branches grow to about three nodes, they have to be coring. And it's best to cut off all the buds at the base. Otherwise, allowing these lateral buds to sprout will cause the crown to be very dense and ugly.

(4) finally, it is around August. During this period, there are some branches growing for the second time. For them, also have to pick the heart, do not let them continue to grow.
