Want their own flowers more open, the more open the better, we have to work hard to prune! If you don't like it here, you don't want it there. In the end, your flowers grow in a mess. Don't say they bloom, but it's hard to live!

Rose

Prune before flowering

After flower bud differentiation, branches then grow many buds.

Only keep a bud at the top of the branch, take out all the rest, make the nutrients concentrated, so that the top of the bud can open big and colorful!

Cut off the buds except the top

After the Chinese rose withers, the remnant flowers should be cut off to keep nutrients. You can cut off four or five leaves from the lower part of the flower branches, and make sure that the buds left behind grow outwards.

Cut off the branches that have blossomed, the branches that are sick and weak

Sometimes, the rose branches grow very thick, will block the sunshine of other branches, is not conducive to photosynthesis, you can take the pulling treatment.

Tie the rope to the 1, 2 and 3 branches as shown in the figure below, and then gently pull down until the branches are at the same level as the D position marked by me.

Result hint

So the distance between the branches is relatively large, which is conducive to photosynthesis and will soon be able to bloom again.

3 winter dormancy pruning

In winter, the rose will enter a dormancy state, at this time, you can carry out a re - cut.

When pruning, cut off all the branches above the ground without lignification. And the leaves on the remaining branches should be cut off.

All parts above the red line can be cut off,

Then cut short or directly the diseased branches

Spring growth pruning

From the beginning of spring, the growth period of Rose comes, and it is the period of axillary bud and flower bud differentiation, in order to make the flowers bloom big and fragrant.

1. At the beginning, keep two or three buds on each branch. The rest of the buds that grow downward or inward are cut off.

Cut off the extra buds

2. After a period of time, when the new buds grow to about 2 ~ 3cm, compare the 2 ~ 3 buds left before and choose the one with the best growth

If the branches are relatively thick, one or two buds can be left as appropriate, but the rest should be cut off, so that the plant nutrients can be more distributed to the original branches, so as to promote flower bud differentiation.

Keep 1 ~ 2 buds per branch

Gardenia

1 growth period pruning

1. Cut off the thin branches, gardenia in the growth process, grow a lot of lateral buds, and then the lateral buds will become lateral branches, these lateral branches keep pure is a waste of nutrition, must be cut off in time.

Cut off the thin branches

2. Cut off the overlapping branches. The overlapping branches mainly appear in the Gardenia potted plant. If not cut off, it will cause the branches to be too dense, thus blocking the light, which is not conducive to the photosynthesis of the leaves.

Cut the overlapping branches

Prune before flowering

1. Cut off the buds around the flower bud, because they will compete with the flower bud for nutrients.

Cut off the buds

2. Topping

If you want Gardenia to bloom more, you need to top and pick the heart, that is, remove the top buds, see the following figure for the specific pruning position

Trim after 3 flowers

Gardenia open after, timely cut, one is to reduce salt consumption, the second is to promote the germination of new buds.

When pruning, count down from the remnant and start pruning under the second pair of leaves.

4 heavy shears

If the shape of gardenia is not good-looking, you can choose to cut it again after the flower, because Gardenia only blooms in spring, after the spring re cutting, summer and autumn are just the growth period of gardenia, which can slow down relatively quickly.

Jasmine

Trim in late autumn and early winter

From the end of August to the end of September, the last wave of jasmine flowers is also in full bloom.

This time, we must cut the flowers lightly, just cut off the flowers. We need to keep some strong branches for winter.

2 pruning in growing period

Every spring, jasmine will enter the growing season, but after a long winter, jasmine will inevitably produce some disease and insect branches, thin and weak branches, long branches, overlapping branches and so on.

So in the early spring, you can shave Molly's head and cut off all the branches that have problems. Don't be soft! With the increase of temperature, the branches of jasmine will germinate soon.

3 trim before flower

Before the jasmine blooms, you need to top the jasmine. First, you need to control the overgrowth. Second, you need to let the jasmine grow more branches.

Start from the bottom, 1 ~ 2 pairs of blades, and then remove the top.

Trim after 4 flowers

After the jasmine blooms, we should cut off the remnant flowers in time, in order to reduce the consumption of nutrients, so that the Jasmine can bloom again.

Cut the remaining flowers and a pair of lower leaves together. If the flowering branches are very slender, increase the pruning length as appropriate, because the thinner and longer the branches are, the fewer flowers can be produced. The specific trimming position is shown in the figure below
