Necessity of pruning Rieger Begonia

The branches of Rieger Begonia are different from other ornamental plants. Their branches are easy to store water. If a large amount of water is stored inside the branches, it is easy to rot inside over a long time, and the rotten branches are most likely to infect bacteria, so it is difficult to survive, prolong the life of the plants and damage the overall beauty. So Xiaobian wants to remind you that you must always trim the branches and leaves, and spray fungicides irregularly, so that if you forget to trim the branches and leaves for a while, you can also prevent rot

Pruning method of Rieger Begonia

1、if you want your Rieger Begonia to look lush, you must pick the heart during the growth period, which can promote the plant to germinate lateral branches to achieve the effect of plump plant type. At the same time, the redundant flower buds should be removed in time. Don't be reluctant to cut off those flowers, because too many flowers will disperse nutrients and can't concentrate a large amount of nutrients on the main flowers. Therefore, the redundant flower buds should be cut off while pruning the branches and leaves~

2、after autumn, Rieger Begonia will sprout new branches and buds at the base of the plant. When the new branches grow to a certain height, the old branches can be cut off from the base with a knife. At this time, pay attention to increase the water irrigation, because the growth of new branches requires a lot of water, and cutting off the old branches at this time will reduce part of the water transportation. So to what extent should it be trimmed? Each pot only needs to keep three new branches, < a > < / a > just cut off the rest! Because this can better concentrate nutrients and shape Rieger Begonia as soon as possible
