How to cut potted plants? Why trim it?

Pruning in growth period is mainly to promote branching and increase flowering. The reader mentioned Zhu Jin's flower friend from the beginning, because the cutting and pasting in the growing period is not good, so there is no complete plant type. Long-term growth pruning will not only promote the growth of branches, but also dwarf plants and expand crown width. Both woody flowers and herbaceous flowers should be pruned in time according to the actual growth situation.

Potted flowers blooming on annual branches, such as roses, jasmine, gardenia, Fusarium, crape myrtle, etc. They are re-cut to germinate, and the plants are renewed and strengthened. Many flowers bear fruit. Knives or scissors used for pruning should be sharp and smooth to prevent branches from breaking. In order to prevent the incision from rotting, the incision can be waxed. When pruning, attention should be paid to choosing the eyes to grow outward, so that the branches can spread evenly and make the plants beautiful, which is also conducive to ventilation and lighting.

For example, the small potted plant above, we can see that this branch is very good, and it has begun to grow lateral buds, but this plant is too high, plus the advantage at the top, it must be the lateral branch at the top, so the tall seedling will be higher, so it needs pruning. Most plants need pruning, some need pruning regularly, and some need pruning frequently. The way and time of pruning depends largely on your area and plant type. Pruning too early or too late is not conducive to the normal growth of plants.

So, don't rush to prune, first find out the type of plants. Pruning the growth process of jasmine is pruning. In the process of flowering, the higher the temperature in summer, the faster the growth. If you want it to bloom more, you must always prune the flowers, keep two or three leaves, prune all the others, and shave off a big flat. Soon it will grow twice as many side buds and double the next flowering period. So cut it repeatedly, and let it have lateral buds after cutting it.

If you want to make a pot of hydrangea shorter and thicker, after flowering, count two pairs of leaves from bottom to top, cut off all the remaining branches, and let the hydrangea grow new branches from the roots and armpits.
