When to prune golden bells

The best time to prune golden bells is in early spring, because some of their branches and stems will be damaged after the winter.

Tips for pruning golden bells

Pruning branches and leaves: After the golden bell flower hibernates in winter, all dead branches, weak branches and frost-damaged branches should be pruned off. In addition, some non-main branches should be cut short to avoid nutrient consumption and promote the germination of new branches. If the golden bell flower is not pruned for a long time, the leaves will age and dry up. At this time, just prune the yellow and withered leaves in time, and you can also prune the aging branches appropriately.

Pruning makes it grow faster: After winter, it is best to cut all the branches and stems short, cutting them to less than one foot from the ground, about five or six inches. This can stimulate the growth of new branches of the golden bell, making its appearance more lush and its flowering condition better.

Pruning for flowering: When the plants of golden bells are still relatively small, you can slightly trim their tops. This will increase the light exposure area and produce more side branches so that the side branches can also grow well, which can expand the crown and promote flowering.

Precautions for pruning golden bells

The flowering period of golden bells is relatively long, starting from May and lasting until the end of October. Therefore, in order to see beautiful golden bells every day, we must pay attention to timely and appropriate pruning during cultivation, so that it can decorate our home environment beautifully every day.
