1、 How to pick the heart

1. Time: pick the heart at the seedling stage. When the Gardenia seedling grows to about 10-15cm, you can pick the heart

2. Tools: you can prepare appropriate knives, preferably sharp ones. You can use art knives. Disinfect them before use to prevent wound infection

3. Methods: keep the trunk of about 15cm, and the parts above 15cm can be cut off, so as to remove the highest growth point, so as to promote the growth of branches

2、 Other trim

1. Long branches: in addition to picking the heart, we should also pay attention to the pruning of long branches. Generally, it is a period of vigorous growth from May to July. At this time, its germination ability is very strong, resulting in the emergence of many long branches. According to the growth situation, the long branches can be shortened to promote the growth of side branches and increase the subsequent flowering

2. Withered and yellow branches: at the beginning of planting, they will not adapt to the growth environment and may appear withered and yellow leaves. These withered and yellow leaves do not need to be trimmed at a specific time. They can be cut off as long as they are seen, and they can be completely cut off from the bottom base
