Plant type

Begonia flower is a deciduous shrub, 1-2 meters high and up to 3 meters rare; Branchlets are green, cylindrical, glabrous, often arched and drooping, and twigs are angular

Begonia flowers have no trunk, and the green twigs are clustered from the ground, thus showing a cluster type

Pruning method

Di Tang likes sunny and warm environment. It is also more shade resistant and not very cold resistant, but more moisture resistant. In order to make di Tang blossom and flourish every year, it must be pruned reasonably every year

Pruning shall be carried out from January to February. The dead branches, over dense branches, hard and white old branches at the base and other branches shall be cut off from the base. The plant shall be renewed every 5-10 years, leaving 10-15 cm away from the ground after flowering, and the rest shall be cut off

When the Begonia flower blooms, leave a branch 50 cm high and cut off the branches in the upper part, which can promote the germination of new buds in the lower part

In the spring of the next year, from February to March, choose continuous sunny days to prune the Begonia flowers for several days, which can make the branches bloom more vigorously and increase the number of flowers in that year

If you want to have more branches, you can leave only 7 cm and cut off the rest

Precautions

In the process of pruning, if the branches gradually wither from top to bottom, the dead branches should be cut off immediately, otherwise the dry state will spread to the root, which will lead to the death of the whole plant

After falling leaves, there is still the possibility of dead branches. We should observe and deal with them in time

Because most of the Begonia flowers bloom at the tips of new branches, they can only be thinly cut during pruning, not short cut. If short cut, the flower buds of the branches will be cut off, which will directly affect the flowering of the next spring

After entering winter or before sprouting in early spring, the dense old branches, delicate branches and pest branches can not only keep the plant shape symmetrical and beautiful, but also blossom and flourish
