How to trim violets

Violet is a herbaceous plant of Cruciferae and Violet. It is a very beautiful flower widely cultivated in southern China and often planted in gardens or greenhouses for ornamental purposes. Many friends are well managed to grow luxuriantly, but for violets, dense growth is not a good thing and will affect its flowering. At this point, it needs to be trimmed, so how to trim it? Let's take a look.

1. Pruning at flower and seedling stage

Violet seedlings are planted when they grow to a certain extent, and 20 days after planting, violets enter a period of rapid growth. Pruning can accelerate its growth, so we need to remove 3-4 leaves and only 5-6 true leaves, which can promote the branching of the plant and make it grow faster.

2. Pruning during the growing period

In the growing period of violets, it grows very fast and will soon flourish. In the case of fertile soil and sufficient water, the plants will grow too long and grow askew, so they need to be pruned. Pruning some overgrown branches, dense branches and overlapping branches, such as cutting off some side branches, can not only benefit the growth of the plant, but also keep the plant shape beautiful.

3. Pruning after flowering

Because violets are perennial herbs, we also need to prune them after flowering, in order to avoid nutrient consumption and hoard enough nutrients to facilitate the next flowering. The withered flowers can be removed and their branches can be cut at the same time. In addition, some side branches, close planting and diseased branches can also be cut off. After cutting, some fertilizer can be applied to make them recover quickly.

4. Pruning matters needing attention

Although pruning is simple, we should also pay attention to some matters. When pruning, we must keep some new branches with exuberant growth. They are the growing point of the plant and cannot be trimmed off, otherwise the plant may return to weakness or stop growing. In addition, after pruning, we should also pay attention to the protection of the wound, so as to prevent bacteria from invading from the wound and endanger plant growth. After each pruning, we should apply some fertilizer appropriately to make it recover as soon as possible and speed up its growth.
