1、 Pruning time

If you want Impatiens to grow better and blossom more, you should trim it in time during the management period. Pruning is usually carried out during the peak growth season and flowering period, that is, in spring and summer. The flowering period will end slowly in autumn. It is an annual plant, and there is no need to manage it in the later stage

2、 Pruning method

1. Pruning during the growth period: the growth rate of Impatiens is relatively fast, and there are few lignified places on the branches and stems, which are relatively tender. Therefore, pruning should be started when the main branch grows to 25 cm high. Pinch off the terminal bud, which can enhance its branching ability. In the later stage, the overall plant type will be fuller and the number of flowers will increase

2. Pruning during flowering: Impatiens also need pruning during flowering, especially those who want to enjoy the flowers. Cut off the flower pedicle, so that the flower can not bear seeds, and the flower will bloom more abundantly. In addition, the flowers at the base should also be cut off in time, which can save a lot of nutrients and promote the flower buds at the top to open one after another, which will cause the phenomenon of clusters of flowers and higher ornamental

3、 Precautions for trimming

When pruning, first disinfect the tools to avoid local infection of the wound, and the plant is easy to get sick. In addition, you can't rush to water after pruning, let alone let the wound get wet, and then resume management after the wound heals
