In the early spring of each year, when the branches are not germinating, they should be pruned for the first time. At this time, the weak branches, repeated branches and disease branches should be pruned to reduce the loss of nutrients, which is more conducive to the growth of new branches. In addition, at this time, it's better to turn over the soil once, and clean up the weeds in the basin soil, so that the plants can grow better
Every time after flowering, cut off the remaining flowers in time. Keeping them will not only affect the beauty, but also continue to consume nutrients. When pruning, in addition to the remnant flowers, the two compound leaves under the flowers should be cut off to avoid the weak branchlets sprouting, otherwise the flowers will be deformed. Or cut off the flowers from the place 10 cm away from the root system, and cut off the redundant branches together to save nutrients and make new buds sprout
During the flowering period, it will be found that some branches have multiple bracts. At this time, do not be reluctant to cut off the long ones that are not good, leaving only the good ones. Only two or three new buds will be left on each main branch, and the extra ones will be cut off. In addition, we need to cut off the extra side buds and only one main bud to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption.
