Every time there is a beautiful scene everywhere, there will be many people who want to make it bloom for a longer time and make the flowers more beautiful. Then we need to trim it properly. We can even control the flowering period. What should we do? Let's have a look.

1. Shaping and trimming

When we usually maintain it, we all want to make it blossom faster, so that we can enjoy its beauty earlier. Generally, the method of plucking the heart is used to make it quickly send out new branches. Some flower branches may be relatively dense. In order not to affect the beauty of the flower, the bud can be properly thinned. In this way, the quality and quantity of flowers will be greatly improved, and it can also play a great role in the next year's blooming

So at this time, we need to do some plastic trimming to make it change this phenomenon. Pruning branches does not mean that it can be done at any time. Generally, pruning is done after the flowers have withered in spring or in autumn. Cut off some diseased branches, old branches and branches on the plants one by one, so as to avoid nutrient consumption and make the flowers blooming bright and full.
