The longevity flower blooms in autumn and blossoms in winter and spring. When it was mid-to-late September, some flower friends asked if it was possible to prune longevity flowers during this period. In fact, the pruning of longevity flowers should be determined according to its plant type.

Some flower friends cultivate longevity flowers after a summer, the growth condition is not very good, although the pruning at this time may delay its flowering time, but if the plant is thin, even if not pruned, it rarely blossoms or does not bloom in winter and spring. So if your longevity flower does not grow well and can not reach the conditions for its flowering for the time being, you can carry out a pruning to remove the diseased branches and weak branches to promote the germination of more strong branches and branches, which is conducive to the fullness of the plant type.

Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutritious compound fertilizer twice after pruning, or self-maturing organic liquid fertilizer. After the new branches grow, combined with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for root irrigation and foliar spraying, appropriate amount of rotten chicken manure can also be buried in advance around the spray, plus sufficient light (longevity flowers belong to short-day plants, with light of not less than 6-8 hours a day before flowering). It can promote its flower bud differentiation quickly.

Generally after the summer, the plants with normal growth can be pruned before September, and if the plant type is not too full, it can be topped in time. Topping is to pinch off new branches to promote the germination of more new branches. Pruning is not recommended after September. Because this period is its flower bud differentiation period, pruning at this time may cut off its differentiated flower buds, delay or affect flowering.

If your plant is strong and full, what you need to do at this time is to give it enough fertilizer and water, that is, to keep the potted soil slightly wet, to supply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a week, and to cooperate with sufficient light to ensure that it successfully completes flower bud differentiation and winter bud blooming.
