1. When pruning

When pruning, any plant must have a certain pruning time. Like iron jasmine, there are generally two periods of pruning, one is in its growth period and the other is in its dormancy period. It is not suitable for pruning after autumn. It is different from other plants, so don't think about pruning after autumn. In addition, pruning should be carried out when the weather is sunny. This kind of time is the most suitable for pruning

2. How to trim during growth

When it is in the growth period, it should be trimmed for the first time in combination with turning the pot. First, we can use a small stick to dig out the whole plant, then remove part of the soil from its roots, and then cut off the roots that grow too dense. After being put into the pot again, the branches that grow too long or very dense can be cut off or shortened, so that the branches can be evenly distributed. Then, after the flower falls, it can be pruned for the second time to remove part of the leaves and reduce the consumption of nutrients. Keep 3 to 5 sections on each branch and cut off its top to promote the germination of new branches

3. How to prune during dormancy

Pruning should be started before germination in spring. Prune all the sick and insect bearing branches, thin or bare branches. Don't be distressed. In addition, cut short the annual branches, and then keep the branches below 10 to 15 cm. Then remove the remaining leaves. Although it looks a little bald and not very good-looking after pruning, if it is not cruel, it will continue to affect its growth. In this way, after pruning, the plant can better absorb nutrients without causing nutrient loss, and it will look more beautiful
