After the longevity flower blossoms, pinch the head and cut the bud.

After the longevity flowers bloom and fail, the branches of the flowers will be cut off, so that new buds will grow under the cut, some of which can blossom again, and some will blossom next year. Let's talk specifically about how longevity flowers are trimmed and topped. In fact, longevity flowers need constant pruning and topping in order to bloom more and more.

Topping

Topping is generally suitable for cuttings in that year. When the seedlings of longevity flowers grow to 5 cm high, they can be topped from the fourth and fifth pairs of leaves to limit their continued growth and promote more lateral buds. Only in this way can the primary shape of longevity flowers be molded, so that the plants can grow bigger and bloom more later.

Pick the heart

In the process of cutting seedlings continue to grow, if there are only growing branches, you can pick the heart in time to prevent excessive growth and damage to the plant type, wasting nutrition.

Post-flowering pruning

After each blooming of the longevity flower, the residual branches will be cut off from the second pair of leaves under the flower branch. after a period of time, new branches and leaves will grow from the bottom of the cut, and the second flowering will be carried out when the temperature is right. The pruned branches can be used for cutting, turning a pot into dozens of pots, which is very simple.

Daily pruning

In the process of raising longevity flowers, it is necessary to timely trim off yellow leaves, diseased branches and overgrown branches, improve ventilation and light, and reduce the invasion of diseases and insect pests.

Old plant pruning

Generally raised for two or three years, longevity flower plants will gradually grow old, whether it is the ability to sprout or flowering, will gradually decrease. In order to promote the old longevity flowers to blossom more, a big pruning can be carried out after blooming every year, cutting off the overgrown, residual and diseased branches, leaving bud points to sprout new buds and blossom next year. The cut branches can be used for cutting. in principle, it is best for longevity flowers to bloom every other year. After aging, although it can blossom more through pruning, it is always not as good as that of cuttings.

The pruning of longevity flowers is basically based on the above points, in short, longevity flowers must be cut, if not cut, there will be little or no flowering.
