Planting and pruning of broccoli

The root system will be damaged when the brocade is planted. In order to reduce water consumption and ensure the survival of seedlings, it is usually necessary to trim appropriately. When pruning, more than 3 branches shall be reserved as the main branches, and the rest shall be cut off. The reserved main branches should be cut in short to make them roughly the same height. When cutting the main branch short, keep the outer buds. Because the buds of broccoli are opposite, peel off the opposite inner buds and 1 to 2 pairs of buds under them

Maintenance and pruning of broccoli

In daily maintenance, the ribbon flower needs to be pruned. The dead branches, sick branches, weak branches, bare branches and old branches are cut off, and the branches are not cut short. For those sprouting tillers, some should be retained, which is conducive to the renewal of old branches and the expansion of shrubs. Pay attention to the principle of "dense periphery and thin inner bore" to ensure the ventilation and light transmission of shrubs

Pruning of old branches of brocade

The life span of the branches of general tufted shrubs is relatively short, so pruning the old branches is indispensable in the shaping and pruning of shrubs. Generally, the ribbon flower only blooms on the branches that are 1-2 years old, and cannot bloom on the old branches that are more than 3 years old. Therefore, when pruning in winter or early spring, the old branches should be pruned. Cut off the old branches that do not bloom. Pay attention to avoid cutting off all branches at one time, which will affect the landscape effect

Problems in the pruning of broccoli

Brocade is sometimes left uncut and allowed to grow, resulting in dense branches, more old branches, less new branches, less flowers and weak tree potential. In this case, the old branches should be cut off during the dormancy period to promote the germination of new branches

Brocade is sometimes cut too short and heavy when pruning. It will result in a significant reduction in spending in the second year. Generally, heavy cutting and short cutting are carried out after flowering, and only light cutting is carried out at other times, so as to ensure that the flowers bloom brilliantly< span>
