The crazy growth of triangular plum depends on scissors. Remember, these three tricks can't stop.

Many people like triangular plum because it has a long flowering period, is easy to grow, and the flowers themselves are very beautiful. Some are planted at home, whether they are used as potted plants to cultivate sentiment or to climb and maintain. But this flower grower is different. The situation of triangular plum blooming is also very different. Some people raise triangular plum, which is called "crazy growing non-stop", rubbing flowers all year round, even saving money on curtains and wallpaper. On the other hand, the triangular plum in the home of some friends is really "crazy to stop for a long time", working hard for a whole year or not to escape from the scope of the flowerpot, which makes people distressed and tired. So this is also a triangular plum, how come the gap in flower making is so big? In fact, it is still a matter of maintenance, such as pruning.

Does triangular plum need to be trimmed?

The answer is yes, mainly because triangular plum is a perennial rattan shrub, growing very fast, if not restricted, it is likely to grow too fast so that the internal branches can not receive sunlight, thus the emergence of yellow leaves and other phenomena affect the normal growth of plants, and only pruning triangular plum can help us to create a beautiful triangular plum plant type, so that it can bloom continuously. Therefore, we have to carry out at least 2-3 comprehensive pruning in a year, and the withered branches and rotten leaves should be cut off at the first time, which is best for triangular plums.

When is the best time to trim?

Generally speaking, the pruning root of trimmed plum is related to its own growth stage. first of all, it can sprout for the first time every year, usually between March and April, and timely cutting off the aging branches can be beneficial to the rational distribution of nutrients. The second time can be in early September, as the temperature has turned cool in the early autumn, pruning off the overgrown branches, prompting the triangulated plum to differentiate into lateral flower buds in preparation for blooming in October.

Xiuxianjiangmei, recognize the three-character Sutra

1. Ruthless

Triangular plum pruning is actually similar to some times in our lives, that is, we must dare to play a heavy hand, and the shot must be ruthless. For the old, weak, diseased branches must not hesitate to cut off, because these already lack of vitality of the branches left on the triangle plum will only be a waste of old-age, so pay attention to the principle of "eliminating the weak and staying strong", there can be no mercy on these branches. Of course, the word "ruthless" can also be used to prune long branches, which not only destroy the beautiful plant shape and grow tall and sturdy branches, but also consume plant nutrients, which is not conducive to the differentiation of flower buds in the main branches. If you don't want your own triangulated plum to be "outstanding", you must wipe it out ahead of time.

2. Sparse

As we have said above, triangular plum is a fast-growing plant. Because the outer branches of the whole plant receive enough light and water, they grow very strong. As a result, there will be a kind of branches called "inner bore branches" in these robust branches, which will not only be unable to carry out photosynthesis, but also continue to consume nutrients and affect the ventilation of the plant. It may even cause the triangulated plum to suffer from the disease, so thinning the inner bore branches and overdense branches can make the triangular plum grow healthily.

3. Short

The word "short" mainly means that when pruning branches growing in the same direction, the thick branches should be cut short and the weak branches should be cut off. In fact, its truth is somewhat similar to the "eliminating the weak and staying strong" we just mentioned. Retaining and briefly cutting the strongest branches and cutting off the thin branches completely will help to concentrate the supply of nutrients, and the flowers will naturally be healthier and stronger. They are also more resistant to diseases and insect pests.

Now we are about to enter September, which coincides with the pruning period we introduced at the beginning of the article, so what are you waiting for if you have triangular plums at home?
