1. Time: the time of heart picking should be at the seedling stage. When the small seedlings of Gardenia grow to about 10-15cm, the heart picking can be carried out.
2. Tools: suitable knives can be prepared. It is better to be sharp. You can use an art knife. Before using it, you should disinfect it to prevent infection of the wound.
3. Method: keep the trunk of about 15cm, and cut off the part above 15cm, so as to remove the highest growth point and promote the growth of branches.
1. Extra long branches: in addition to picking the heart, we should also pay attention to the pruning of extra long branches. Generally, it is a period of vigorous growth from May to July. At this time, its germination ability is very strong, which leads to the emergence of many extra long branches. According to the growth situation, we can short cut extra long branches, which can promote the growth of lateral branches and increase the amount of flowering after
2. Withered and yellow branches: at the beginning of planting, they will not adapt to the growth environment, and may appear withered and yellow leaves. For these withered and yellow leaves, you do not need to wait for a specific time to trim them, as long as you see them, you can cut them off completely from the bottom of the base.
