Vines

Vines, such as vines, roses, grow very rapidly in summer. They are too dense and tangled. They are not only ugly in shape, but also prone to diseases and pests. They must be pruned. Those cultivated in two or three years do not need pruning

Pruning techniques

1. Pre flowering pruning: in late winter or early spring, cut off 1 / 4 of the old branches and adjust the size and shape of the remaining branches. 2 ~ 3 bud points shall be reserved for lateral branches. When the new buds grow to 3 ~ 4cm, only 1 ~ 2 buds shall be reserved. 4 ~ 6 flower buds shall be reserved for the whole pot of rose to concentrate nutrition, and all other new buds shall be erased

2. Pruning during flowering: keep the main branch, cut off dead branches, weak branches and sick branches at any time, and cut short the long side branches (5 ~ 8cm) according to the growth space, so as to make the flower branches symmetrical and smooth, leaving enough growth space

3. Post flower pruning: generally, the broken flowers are removed at any time from June to July; In addition, cut off 1 / 3 ~ 1 / 2 of the strong branches, 2 / 3 of the length of the thin branches can be cut off, and all the weak branches should be cut off

Woody

Woody plants generally have two kinds of branches, one is the long branch, which is used to cultivate the trunk. If it grows too long and too dense in summer, it can be cut short, and the other is the flowering short branch, which can be trimmed slightly after flowering

Gardenia jasminoides

Gardenia grows vigorously in summer, is prone to overgrowth and few flowers, so it must be trimmed

Pruning techniques

1. Early growth stage: light cutting after budding, mainly cutting off some flower branches at the top to promote the development of lateral branches and increase the number of flower buds in the later stage

2. Vigorous growth stage: trim the disorderly overlapping flower branches, weak branches, parallel branches, Cross branches, etc., and remove the dense top buds. Generally, 2 ~ 3 buds are left on one branch

3. Flowering stage: after the flower buds grow, 2 ~ 3 can be left on each thick branch, 1 on the weak branch, and the rest can be cut off to ensure the concentration of flowering nutrients

4. After flower withering: cut off the flower branches in time to promote the germination of new buds, and pick the heart when the new buds grow to two or three knots; At the same time, cut off some axillary buds to promote the growth of main branches

Jasmine

If you don't pay attention to pruning when maintaining jasmine, the growth is too dense, which will also lead to thin branches and less flowering

Pruning techniques

1. In spring, the dead branches, weak branches and thin branches after overwintering should be cut off in time, and the strong thick branches should be cut to about 15cm for germination of new buds

2. When the spring shoots grow to 4 ~ 5 knots, pick the heart. For the branches without flower buds at the top, remove two pairs of young leaves to promote the breeding of flower buds

3. In summer, you can cut off all the branches that are too long. It will waste nutrition to stay on them. Cut off the branches and make the layout reasonable

4. After the flower withers, remove the residual flowers, cut off the residual branches and dead branches between 1 ~ 3 nodes under the flower, retain nutrients, and bloom in about half a month

Summer dormancy

Many flowers are prone to dormancy, slow growth and difficult flowering when it comes to hot summer, such as crab claw orchid. However, if you do a good job in pruning during the maintenance period, you don't have to worry about spending the summer

Pruning techniques

1. After the flowers wither, the residual flowers shall be removed in time, and the 3 ~ 4 stem nodes under the flowers shall be cut short, and the sunny day shall be selected for pruning

2. The crab claw orchid cultivated for 3 ~ 5 years should be greatly cut to remove too dense branches and leaves and aged branches, so as to ensure sufficient growth space and ventilation; Pruning is not allowed in summer, but it should be placed at the astigmatism place such as the North windowsill during maintenance. Watering and fertilization should be minimized to avoid being too stuffy and wet, so as to spend the summer safely

Grass flowers

In summer, as soon as the grass and flowers bloom, the pots will burst quickly, but the flowers will fade quickly. A little trick to prolong the flowering period and constantly burst the pots is strong cutting! Let's take Petunia as an example

Pruning techniques

1. Generally, pick the heart in the early stage of growth. When the new branch grows 5 or 6 leaves, remove the top 2 leaves, and pick the heart after the side branches grow new leaves

2. After flowering, when Petunia explodes, the flowers will grow smaller and smaller. At this time, we should not hesitate to cut off all flower branches, leave enough nutrition for the new bud, and continue to explode after a week
