Camellia sparse bud

Why sparse bud

Camellia has a habit of giving up its life! Excessive flowering will consume a lot of nutrients, resulting in small flowering, ugly flower shape, weak growth in the coming year, yellow leaves and slow germination after flowering

How many buds go and how many remain

The number of flower buds left can be determined according to the number of leaves. Reference data:

Giant flower varieties leave one bud every 30-40 leaves

Large flower varieties leave one bud every 20-25 leaves

Medium flower varieties have 15 leaves and one bud

Small flower varieties leave one bud per 10 leaves

Micro flower varieties leave one bud per 6-7 leaves

In addition: if you want to prolong the flowering period, you should leave part of the large, medium and small buds respectively

Misunderstanding of sparse bud

Most people directly break off the excess flower buds, which will leave a large wound at the base of the leaf buds, causing the water loss at the base of the leaf buds, resulting in the shrinkage and dryness of the buds. It is difficult to germinate in spring

Correct bud thinning method - cutting buds

When the flower bud is about the size of soybean grain, cut off 3 / 4 (slightly lower waist) with scissors, so as to form a large wound, which will evaporate the water of the remaining part of the flower bud

Cutting buds can achieve the effect of thinning buds without damaging leaf buds. One week after cutting buds, the remaining flower buds will naturally wither, yellow and fall off

Note: the amount of flower bud cutting should not be too small. The purpose is to destroy the pistil. If the pistil is not injured, this half of the flower bud will continue to develop and grow

Chrysanthemum sparse bud

Why sparse bud

Small chrysanthemums do not need sparse buds. Large flowers and single poles need sparse buds in autumn. Under the natural state, multiple buds will grow at the top of the branches at the same time, and there will be flower buds on the branches. If not sparse buds, each flower will be very small, disorderly and of poor ornamental value

How many buds go and how many remain

Single stem chrysanthemum can only leave one bud on each branch, leaving the thickest and strongest one, and the rest will be removed. In this way, the flowers are large enough, full and rich, bright colors and high ornamental value

Bud thinning method

The flower bud handle of chrysanthemum is very short, and 6 ~ 7 flower buds are clustered together. When thinning the buds, carefully remove the excess buds, and do not hurt the remaining buds

From the end of September to the beginning of October, bud thinning begins. Use scissors or tweezers to carefully cut off the excess buds. Do not break or damage the small ones left behind. Big and gorgeous flowers will bloom in November

Rhododendron sparse bud

Why sparse bud

Autumn is the key period for the development of azalea flower buds. Azalea can bear flower buds very well. Too many flower buds will lead to problems such as small flower buds, non opening of flower buds, falling of buds halfway, small flowering and so on

How many buds go and how many remain

The best time for bud thinning of Rhododendron is in November, and only one bud per shoot is enough

Bud thinning method

The flower buds under the leaves and between the axils should be erased, leaving only the top bud, and the flower buds on the inner bore branches should also be removed in time. At this time, some branches will grow, which will grab nutrients with the flower buds and need to be removed together

Curing after bud thinning

In winter, the cold resistant varieties of Rhododendron can spend the winter outdoors. Those who are not cold resistant need to be moved back to the house and can not be fattened at this time

There is heating in the north. Too high indoor temperature is unfavorable to the overwintering of Rhododendron. High temperature sucks branches, further consumes nutrition and affects the development of flower buds. It is most advantageous to put the Rhododendron at 0 ~ 5 degrees for natural dormancy

At the end of the year, when the Rhododendron bud first blooms, some branches will bloom 2 ~ 4 flowers at the same time. At this time, only one flower needs to be left, and the rest should be picked, so that the flowers after the Spring Festival will be more beautiful and neat
