The leaves of longevity flowers should be cut off, otherwise the growth and flowering will be affected.

The leaves of longevity flowers are broad, thick and greenish, although they are not as good-looking as their many and gorgeous flowers, but potted plants will also affect their plant type to some extent. At ordinary times, during the period of maintenance and management, if you encounter this kind of leaf, you must cut it off in time, otherwise it will easily affect its normal growth and flowering. So, what leaves need to be cut off in time?

In fact, it is too broad and thick leaves, because this kind of leaf not only competes for a lot of nutrients, but also has a strong shading effect, which is easy to affect the photosynthesis of the lower leaves, resulting in poor growth. And the big leaves will also affect the air circulation to a certain extent, especially the big leaves on the basin, but also affect the evaporation of water on the basin after watering, resulting in stagnant water in the basin and cause rotten roots.

Of course, its harm is not limited to this, it can even inhibit the germination of new buds to a great extent, thus affecting the growth of lateral branches. On the other hand, the longevity flower blossoms at the top of the lateral branch, and it is easy to inhibit the growth and budding of the flower branch. This kind of leaf is also very easy to have an adverse effect on the appearance of potted plants. Therefore, if such a large leaf appears in the longevity flower, it must be cut off as soon as possible to avoid affecting the normal growth and flowering of the plant.

But when pruning, we also need to pay attention to deal with some small details, although it is generally said that the large leaves can be cut off directly. But to grasp the timing of pruning, it is best to wait until new buds and leaflets grow under the plant, so that it can also carry out photosynthesis after cutting off large leaves. Of course, new buds and new leaves must be kept and not mistakenly cut off.

And before pruning, scissors must be disinfected and sterilized in advance, and harmful bacteria or bacteria appear on one side, which will bring infection to the wound during pruning, thus destroying the growth of the plant. And while pruning the large leaves, it is also necessary to cut off the aging or withered or rotten leaves at the bottom of the plant. Even the leaves that fall off on the basin should be cleaned up to prevent it from rotting on the basin and breeding bacteria.

After pruning, you must not rush to water and fertilize it, because the longevity flower is a succulent succulent plant, which is easy to discharge juice after forming a wound. And if you water and fertilize at this time, it is easy to have wound infection. Therefore, after pruning, the potted plants should be placed in a bright and ventilated place with sufficient light for maintenance, so that the wound can heal quickly. Then we water it normally and strengthen fertilization management to promote the growth of new buds and leaves.

After this treatment, the longevity flower is not only more beautiful and clear, but also like a relief, and the pressure on the roots is further reduced. In this way, the plant growth will be more and more exuberant, the more and more germination, there will be more flower branches, so it is more conducive to late flowering. When it comes to flowering, it is bound to be prone to blossom and burst pots.
