1. Pruning method

Gardenia will have a lot of withered branches and residual flowers after it withers. When pruning, the main thing is to remove this kind of redundant branches and leaves, and secondly to remove two or three pairs of leaves on the top of healthy branches. This is to stimulate the growth of gardenia, make it grow more beautiful, bloom more and have better quality next time. Finally, we should cut off the dense top buds, and leave three or four buds on one branch. This is to make the nutrients more concentrated and conducive to the next flowering of Gardenia

2. Nourishment after shearing

After pruning, the Gardenia should be properly supplemented with nutrients, preferably multi-element fertilizer, or some self-made organic fertilizer. Fertilize according to the state of Gardenia. Generally, fertilize three times a month after pruning. Although Gardenia likes fertilizer, it needs time to alleviate just after pruning, so three times a month is the most reasonable and should not be too much

3. Precautions

After pruning, spray 1000 times chlorothalonil solution to Gardenia once, because the pruned gardenia is weak and easy to infect bacteria. The purpose of spraying this medicine is to enhance the resistance of Gardenia and eliminate bacteria. Gardenia can't be exposed to the sun immediately after pruning. It's best to put it in a cool place and accept the light normally after its incision scarring. When watering, avoid pouring on the incision and avoid ponding in the basin
