Pruning pinks are usually pruned during the growing season, after flowering and before winter.The time is different, the method of pruning and the purpose are different.However, attention should be paid to the disinfection of pruning tools to avoid infection.
1. Pinching treatment: When the pink seedlings grow to a certain height, pinching treatment should be carried out, and the top should be pruned directly, so that the height can be well controlled, and a lot of nutrients can be saved to promote the growth of lateral branches.In addition, in the budding stage, the branches and buds under the branches should be picked off in time, which can also save a lot of nutrients.
2. Pruning the residual flower: Its flowering period is usually between May and June. After the flower blooms, the residual flower should be pruned to save nutrients and help it recover.Broken flowers should be cut with failure, that is, which flowers will be cut off when they fail.
3. Heavy pruning for winter: Pruning should be done before winter every year.The specific time is between August and September, at this time to re-cut.The length of the branch should be controlled at 8 to 9 centimeters, and most of the growing points should be cut off, which can promote the growth of branches and better shape the plant.In addition, heavy pruning can also improve its cold resistance, which is beneficial to winter and flowering growth in the coming year.
