Why trim

Because Marguerite flowers are perennial and seem to have green stems and nodes, but after breeding for a period of time, the stems will gradually Lignify and turn into pieces of wood, which will not only affect the viewing, but also reduce the flowering of plants. Only by cutting off the wooden branches in time and letting Marguerite update the branches, can we see more flowers every year

Pruning time

Marguerite flowers that have been cultured for 2 ~ 3 years need to be trimmed in time. The pruning time is generally selected from May to June, and the re pruning is carried out at the position about 20cm close to the root, leaving only one branch with complete leaves as the nutrient supply branch

Of course, some plants grow rapidly, and the branches have been lignified after one year. Try to prune the branches before lignification, so that the plants can recover faster

Trim steps

The Marguerite flower in the house has been lignified, and the branches below are gradually wilting due to the aging of the plant, so you have to cut it. Choose a strong branch as a nutrient branch, and cut off all the rest

Note: the selection of vegetative branches is very important. The temperature rises gradually from May to June. Retaining vegetative branches can provide nutrients for the growth of other branches, but if the selection is improper and strong cutting is carried out, it is bound to cause seedling hanging

After pruning for 5 ~ 10 days, many small buds will grow on the branches, which is obviously tender

When the newly grown branches have enough new leaves for photosynthesis, cut off the previously retained vegetative branches and start to grow normally

Yo yo, after a month or so, the leaves will grow green in a hurry. At this time, it is necessary to start topping, promote branching and make the plant shape fuller
