Seasonal requirements for pruning Begonia

The main pruning season of Begonia verticillata is spring and summer. Prune the top of last year's branches before plant germination in spring, and the rest is used to promote branch growth and increase the number of flowers. In addition, pay attention to pruning the dense branches and weak branches in time to promote the sunshine. Secondary pruning shall be carried out before flowering in summer, mainly to trim the plant type and cut off the young fruits

Round pruning method

As we all know, Begonia verticillata needs to be heavily pruned in winter. From then on, to the next spring, it needs to pick the heart of the newly grown branches, keep more than ten centimeters and promote the top branches, so as to prepare for the next round of flowering. Cut off all other branches. In the early summer of June, the first pruned branches will be pruned twice, and the inflorescences will be cut off to promote the growth of axillary buds, which is the second flowering branch. From then on, prune the first flower in July and germinate the third flower. Similarly, the second flower blooms and germinates the fourth flower in August

The branches of Begonia verticillata grow rapidly and are easy to grow in disorder, mainly of natural happy type

Plastic pruning of Begonia verticillata

Pruning and shaping of Begonia verticillata includes fixed stem pruning and large seedling pruning. When the former is used for transplantation and pruning, the trunk is generally left and some side branches with deviated growth are cut off. In addition, it should be noted that the weak and small branches are low, the strong branches are high, and the distribution of main and side branches is reasonable and scattered. The latter is to cut off the branches of diseases and pests and dead branches to avoid over dense branches and promote germination. In addition, we must follow the principle of strong shear for weak branches and weak shear for strong branches< span>
