How to prune branches and leaves of potted plants

Pruning is generally divided into four situations: heavy cutting, medium cutting, light cutting and coring.

1, heavy cutting, used for heavy cutting of potted flowers blooming on annual branches, such as rose, hibiscus and Lagerstroemia indica. Make it grow new branches and plant regeneration stronger. More flowers and fruits.

2. The medium shear is used for potted flowers that need to be trimmed properly, such as Chimonanthus praecox, pomegranate and kumquat. For flowering annual branches, leave two or three short buds on the stem to promote lateral branches.

3, light cut, for the potted flowers blooming on the biennial branches, light cut. Such as gardenia, peach, Milan and so on. Just cut off the redundant side branches, diseased branches and tips.

4, pick the heart, used for those herbal potted flowers, such as violets, daisies, black hearts and so on. Through many times of coring and heading, the lateral buds are more, the plants are short, strong and beautiful, and the branches and leaves are lush, thus increasing the number of flowering and prolonging the flowering time.
