Pruning Asters After Blooming

After blooming, aster needs sufficient light, suitable temperature environment, application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and watering according to factors such as air humidity.

When pruning asters, you should prune more side branches, because cutting off the side branches is not to make the plant more vigorous, but only to make the plant more ornamental, highlight the main branches, and avoid too many flowers and looking messy.

How to care for aster after flowering

The reason why aster does not bloom may be lack of fertilizer and insufficient nutrition; or too much water is applied, causing water accumulation at the roots; or it cannot withstand strong light stimulation and exposure to the sun.

After the aster blooms, you can remove the dead leaves, diseased leaves, and residual flowers in time, apply fertilizer in time to supplement nutrients, and rotten roots when repotting.

In addition, aster needs a sunny environment and soil rich in humus and good drainage. After each watering, timely tillage should be carried out to avoid excessive moisture in the soil, which may cause diseases.
