The best pruning time for geranium is before the germination of new buds. After flowering, only the withered flowers and branches and leaves need to be removed, or the redundant parts can be removed. This is to ensure that the newly grown flowers can have more nutrients, and also can stimulate the germination of new buds. If we want to prune the old pile for many years, only the new shoots will bloom, so we can only prune all the woody branches or cut the long branches short and then carry out cutting, and use the old pile to cultivate new seedlings.
