More flowers and fruits. Knives or scissors used for pruning should be sharp to make the incision smooth and prevent the branches from breaking. In order to prevent the wound from rotting downward, wax can be applied to the wound. When pruning, we should pay attention to the selection of bud eyes that grow outward, which will help the branches spread evenly, make the plants look beautiful, and be conducive to ventilation and light transmission.

2. Intermediate Cut For potted flowers that need to be cut properly, such as wintersweet, pomegranate, kumquat, etc., you can cut them in the middle. Pay equal attention to thinning. For the annual branches that have blossomed, leave 2 ~ 3 buds on the stem to promote the appearance of side branches and sparse long branches, horizontal branches and diseased branches.

3. Lightly cut the potted flowers that bloom on the biennial branches. Such as camellia, gardenia, peach blossom, Milan, white orchid and so on.

4. The ones who pick the heart are those herbal potted flowers, such as violets, daisies, snapdragons, marigolds, black hearts and so on. Pick a heart and start. It is necessary to make it have more lateral buds, short, strong and beautiful plants and lush branches and leaves by pinching and heading for many times, thus increasing the number of flowers and prolonging the flowering time.
