Why cut geraniums

There may be a lot of flower friends' questions. Isn't Geranium a perennial plant? How should a geranium that is about to grow into a tree be trimmed? In fact, although geranium is a perennial in theory, it is usually cultivated only as a 2-3-year-old plant. After this period of time, the geranium will certainly live, but the flowering becomes very poor, and there is no point in maintaining it. By re cutting and breeding seedlings, we can get plants with good flowering again. Without strong cutting, the branches will continue to Lignify from the second year, and there will be no new buds. Although the top will also blossom, it will be very few

Why cut geraniums in autumn

Cutting geraniums in autumn is to restore energy to geraniums. After flowering in spring and loss in summer, geranium is almost exhausted in autumn. At this time, strong cutting gives it a chance to be reborn and make full preparations for another outbreak next year

What temperature is suitable for cutting geranium in autumn

The forced shearing can be carried out from the last volt, but the details should be based on the local night temperature. If the night temperature drops below 25 ℃ (it can wait below 20 ℃ in high humidity areas in the South), the forced shearing can be carried out. Forced cutting is not the later the better, especially for big flower days and angels that need low-temperature vernalization. Forced cutting is too late to grow well before cooling, and it is easy to have problems when vernalization occurs

How to cut

Cut the branches at least 3cm away from the root or above the lignified branches (more for tall varieties). Use sharp scissors to make the incision smooth. Some old leaves may be left after cutting, which is no big problem. After the new leaves grow, the old leaves can be removed

Do you need fertilizer for strong shear? Can it be carried out simultaneously with basin change

Fertilization is not required during forced cutting and cannot be carried out at the same time as changing the pot. After the new buds grow completely, change the pot. After changing the pot, fertilization can be started according to personal preferences

Do spring seedlings need strong cutting

Even if the seedlings in spring and summer grow small, they also need strong cutting< span>
