Gardenia pruning

Gardenia pruning is mainly concentrated in the growth period. From April to August, remove weak branches, cut off residual flowers, wipe buds appropriately and maintain a good crown. Now Huahua will give you a detailed introduction

Sparse branch

Gardenia grows many small lateral buds during its growth, which consumes a lot of nutrients. In the process of maintenance, it should be cut off in time

Pruning residual flowers

After the Gardenia withers, cut it off in time to promote the germination of new buds. When the new buds grow to two or three knots, you can pick the heart. While picking the heart, part of the axillary buds can be cut off to promote the growth of the main branches

When pruning, don't just pick the remnant flowers. You can cut them from the second section below the flowers

The buds on both sides of the flower bud are best cut off before the flower bud opens. If you forget to trim, you can also cut off when cutting the residual flowers

Longevity flower pruning

For herbaceous flowers such as longevity flower, Petunia, sixfold profit and geranium, the pruning mainly focuses on picking the heart and topping and pruning the residual flowers. The following flowers take longevity flower as an example to give you a detailed introduction

Pick the heart

When the longevity flower grows to 45 cm and has about five or six leaves, it can be picked to promote the germination of lateral buds

Pruning residual flowers

After the longevity flower blooms, the remaining flowers should be trimmed in time, so as to contribute to the breeding of the next bud

Sparse branch

When the branches grow too dense, poor ventilation conditions will lead to the occurrence of diseases and pests, and the growth of branches will become weak. Therefore, at this time, we need to leave the weak and the strong branches for flowering

Operation method: from the bottom of the main stem of Changshou flower, cut off too dense thin branches, weak branches and sick branches, and leave only 3-5 strong main branches. In this way, it can avoid only long branches and sterile buds, and ensure that the branches are moderately dense, symmetrical and strong, and there are many flower buds< span>
