If you prune wantonly, it may not only affect the appearance, but more importantly, it may also affect the quality of flowering, and even lead to the phenomenon of non-flowering. The following are the key points of pruning techniques for primrose bonsai, which are now shared with you.

When the primrose is planted in the pot, it needs to be pruned properly, mainly to cut off some redundant and overlong branches, and a large number of roots also need to be cut off, which can promote the plant to germinate new roots and pull out new buds quickly. Of course, the cut robust branches can also be cut to cultivate young plants, and if the conditions are suitable, the cuttings are also easy to survive.

Primrose is more resistant to pruning during its growth, and it is also easy to shape, because its branches are more flexible at this stage, and the original can be tied up into various shapes, but the means of pruning is relatively simple. The branches of the first year are usually thinned after flowering to maintain the shape. At the same time, it is also necessary to control the excessive growth of branches by picking the heart, so as to promote the germination of more lateral branches in the shape of plump plants.

In the middle of May, the over-strong branches, disorderly redundant branches and the old and weak branches of diseases and insect pests are usually cut off, and the pruning in June is usually carried out after the extracted branches are kept with 2-3 nodes, so that nutrients can be concentrated and transported to the flower branches. so as to better promote flower bud differentiation.

Usually only 3-4 buds need to be retained for each branch, which ensures that more high-quality flowers can be produced in the coming year.

When the new branches grow to a certain length, we also need to pick the heart or cut short in time, which is mainly to promote the plant to germinate more branches, especially flowering branches. At that time, not only the number of flowers is numerous and the quality is high, but also the plant type of primrose is more plump and round, and the ornamental value is higher.
