Overcrowded branches, branches with buds on the trunk and inward growing branches all hinder the growth of this kind of flower. Unnecessary branches such as diseased branches and weak branches should be cut off, generally after flowering, when pruning flowers together, or before sprouting in spring, the old branches should be properly combed. If the branches and leaves grow longer, they should also be topped to promote the germination of lateral branches.

1. Cut off unnecessary branches.

Overcrowded branches, branches with buds on the trunk and inward growing branches all hinder the growth of this kind of flower. Only by cutting off unnecessary branches such as diseased branches, can they look fresh and not dull. If you feel the spacing of the branches growing from the trunk of this flower is narrow, even the thick branches should be cut to ensure the balance of its shape. But we should pay attention not to over prune it. After flowering, we need to cut the mature fruit to reduce the consumption of nutrients. Before sprouting in spring, comb the old branches and leaves properly so that the new branches can germinate.

2. Adjust tree shape

Pruning plants should also pay attention to the rectification of its tree shape, first observe it, and then cut off the lateral branches and let the crown slightly messy branches, so as to adjust the tree shape and its size. For example, to improve the height of a tree or to reduce the shape of a tree, you should start with the trunk from the near upper part of the node, that is, the branch bifurcation. If you want a higher visual perception of its shape, you need to reduce the number of side branches. If you want to reduce the size, you need to shorten the trunk and ensure that the number of side branches is not too small.

3. Optimize the internal lighting

We can reduce the shading of branches, improve the conditions of sunshine and ventilation, so that the inner part of the crown can also blossom. On the basis of ensuring that the number of its branches and leaves can produce enough nutrients, it should be properly pruned to reduce the number of its branches and leaves, so that the interior can also receive the sunlight, which has many benefits for its growth and development.
