Pruning method

Spring pruning

In spring, Begonia flowers begin to shoot new buds. This is that Begonia flowers need a lot of nutrients. The dead branches, weak branches, pest branches, Cross branches, stacked branches and excessive branches of Begonia flowers should be cut off to promote Begonia flowers to shoot new buds and promote the growth of new buds. Attention should be paid to cutting off some long branches and leaves according to the needs of Begonia flower modeling, so as to promote the meristematic lateral branches to increase the number of flower branches and ensure the unique flower in the coming year

Pruning after flowering

The growth period of different varieties of Begonia flowers is different. According to the different flowering period of Begonia, the branches and leaves of Begonia flowers should be trimmed two weeks after Aihua withers. Cut off crowded branches and protruding branches. Long branches can be truncated to retain 3 to 4 buds from the base. This is beneficial to increase the short branches forming flower buds

Pruning after falling leaves

After the falling leaves of Begonia flowers, in order to better grow Begonia flowers in the coming year and maintain nutrients in winter, as in spring, the dead branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches, Cross branches, stacked branches, excessive branches, etc. of Begonia flowers should be cut off. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining the overall shape of Begonia flowers

Precautions for pruning Begonia flowers

Be light when cutting short

In the process of pruning Begonia flowers, the pruning of flower branches must be light and carried out one by one to avoid repeated pruning affecting the number of flowering in the flowering season

Leave branches according to space

The space occupied by different plant shapes is different. We should decide how many branches to cut and how many branches to streamline according to the size of the space

Post flower pruning

After the flowering period of Begonia, the branches with leaves can be cut off, which can reduce the area of photosynthesis, so as to inhibit the growth of Begonia and reduce the consumption of nutrients. Be sure to trim lightly
