How to prune short and dense Lagerstroemia indica branches

Lagerstroemia indica can grow better by pruning, and its new buds should be pruned in the spring germination stage to limit its growth. It is also necessary to cut its flower branches short and keep 2 ~ 3 bud points at the base to promote its long branches to bloom again; Dense branches should be sparse to make them well ventilated and translucent; Cut again in winter to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients.

Pruning Method of Lagerstroemia indica 1-Bud Pruning

For Lagerstroemia indica, bud pruning can be carried out in the spring germination stage, because too many new buds will make Lagerstroemia indica have too many branches and chaotic plant types, so it is necessary to erase too many new buds to control the branch growth of Lagerstroemia indica and keep its good plant type. Sprouting in spring should be done once a week or more than three times.

2. Cuttlefish branches were cut short

When pruning Lagerstroemia indica, attention should be paid to cutting off the flowering branches, and cutting off the base of the already flowering branches, so that there are 2 ~ 3 bud points on the base branches, thus prompting Lagerstroemia indica to continue to sprout flower branches from new buds for secondary flowering.

3. Dense branches and sparse branches

In fact, for Lagerstroemia indica with too dense branches, it is necessary to carry out dense branch thinning. Use sterilized scissors to thin and cut off the branches of plants that are too dense, so that the growth environment of branches can be kept well ventilated, there is no shading problem, and there can be enough light for them to grow vigorously.

4. A lot of shearing in winter

Lagerstroemia indica grows slowly in winter, so it needs to be pruned again, and redundant and useless branches should be cut off to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients, so that Lagerstroemia indica can preserve enough nutrients and wait until spring to take out new buds to grow and bloom. So cut off the branches, leaving only 5 cm long, and cut off the weak branches, dead branches and cross branches.
