Spring pruning: when it grows new buds, it can remove the new buds on the main branch 1-2 times. Pruning after flowering: after flowering, the residual flowers, diseased branches and dead branches need to be cut off in time.

At the beginning of winter, gardenias need to be pruned. This pruning can be a little heavier. Cut off all the branches with growth problems, and cut off the surrounding twigs and lateral branches. If the main branch is too long, it can also be cut moderately. This can reduce a lot of nutrient consumption, it is very good for plants to winter

2. Spring pruning

After entering spring, it also needs to be pruned once. When it grows new buds for the first time and the second time, use scissors to cut off the new buds on its main branch. In this way, it can grow more lateral branches, thus making it grow more luxuriant, and can also make it bloom more flowers in the flowering period.

3. Trimming after flower

After it blooms, it needs to be pruned. At this time, it should be reworked to cut the remaining flowers after flowering. Because they have no ornamental value and waste the nutrients in the plant, they should be cut off in time. In addition, if there are diseased branches or dead branches on them, they need to be cut off in time. This can make it grow more healthy.
