1、 How to trim Poinsettia

1. Pick the heart: in the growing season, it is necessary to pick the heart of Poinsettia twice. The first time I picked my heart was in mid June. When the plant grows to about 15cm, the new buds above it are cut off and only 3-5 new buds are retained. The second time was in late August. At this time, it is recommended to keep 5-9 flower heads and cut off other flower heads

2. Cut off the remaining flowers: after it blooms, it also needs to be trimmed. At this time, the residual flowers left on the branches should be cut off in time, so as not to waste nutrients on the plant. After cutting off the residual flowers, you can check whether there are yellow leaves and dead leaves on the plant. If any, they can be cut off together. This can not only keep the plant ornamental, but also help to increase its growth and make it grow better

2、 When is Poinsettia pruned

Poinsettia has two times to pick the heart. The first is mid June. The second is late August. The post flower pruning can be carried out after it opens. Usually from February to April. However, because different varieties have different flowering periods under different breeding conditions, the pruning time is not necessarily the same. In addition, when it is in the growth period, if there are dead branches and yellow leaves, they can also be cut off in time
