If you want plants to grow well, you must first learn how to prune them.

As the saying goes, the cultivation of flowers depends on "three points by tube and seven points by cutting", which shows the importance of pruning in the process of plant growth. Knowing how to prune and when to prune can often make your flowers grow better and give birth to more flowers. If you want to blossom more, you must learn to prune correctly.

Pruning plant branches regularly can not only make the plant more neat and beautiful, but also make the plant branches stronger and increase the resistance to diseases and insect pests. Today, the editor will tell the flower friends how to trim, and put it away if you need it.

Branch pruning time

To prune flowers and plants, the choice of time is very important, generally the two nodes each year are the most suitable, growing period, after flowering.

Growing period

Pruning during the growth of the plant can promote the plant to sprout more new branches and thus produce more flowers. Pruning during growth can also make the plant naturally dwarf, and the shape of the whole plant will look fuller and more beautiful. Pay attention to the position when pruning is not too low, so as not to affect the germination of new buds, just cut it above the branches.

After flowering

Plants are also a good time for pruning after flowering. We can cut off all the branches and leaves of the withered bud, which can promote the plant to sprout new lateral buds and bud, thus prolonging the flowering time of the plant. After pruning the branches, we can apply some fertilizer appropriately, which can better help it sprout and provide sufficient nutrition for subsequent flowering.

Diseased branches and dead branches

Which branches should we trim when pruning? Plant withered branches should be cut off, these necrotic diseased branches will not only affect the overall effect of the plant, but also hinder the germination of new branches.

Branches that are too thick

If the home plant has a lot of branches and leaves and grows luxuriantly, it also needs proper pruning, because if the plant is too dense, it will have a certain impact on its air permeability and also affect the light absorption of the covered bottom branches. on the contrary, it will affect plant flowering, plant roots are impermeable, and even induce germs.

Branches that grow but do not blossom

Some branches grow very long and tall, the gap between leaves is large, and the growth is relatively weak, these branches belong to overgrown branches. Long branches must be pruned, because they basically do not grow buds, even if they can grow is very small, these branches will also compete with other strong roots for nutrients, affecting the germination and growth of flowers in other plants.
