Pruning time

Pruning during growth

At this time, the pruning must be to make the Gardenia grow better in this day, so cut it gently. During this period of time, it is more suitable to prune when the new shoots have not stopped pruning. At this time, the main purpose is to make their flower buds grow better, so we should restrain the growth of new shoots. At this time, the effect can be achieved by changing the lighting conditions

Dormancy pruning

At this time, the purpose of pruning is to ensure that the backbone grows better. It is best to cut more. Their dormancy period is after the yellow leaves and before the spring shoots appear. At this time, we should not let it go, but also take good care of it. Remove those parts that are sick and dry, so that the plant can grow better

Trimmed part

Dense branch

But at this time, gardenia itself may grow better. At this time, it can also be trimmed appropriately. We should pay attention to the shape. Cut off some unnecessary branches, such as loose in dense places, so that it will not be difficult for some branches to shine on the sun, and the photosynthesis of each part can be better

Thin branch

This kind of branches are thin and weak. In winter, they are longer than the surrounding branches, and if there are diseases and pests, they will appear on this kind of branches, so they can be cut off appropriately. After cutting, the surrounding branches can grow better and the nutrition can be fully utilized

Cross branch

Such branches look messy and irregular, which greatly affects the beauty, so the crossed branches should be cut off as much as possible, which can not only make the whole plant shape more beautiful, but also make the remaining branches grow better
