How to deal with the fragrant vine flowers after they fade

Treatment after the fragrant vine flowers fade

After the fragrant vine flowers fade, remove the remaining flowers directly, then prune the branches according to their growth, and then remove the apical dominance to promote the growth of side buds. Count from top to bottom and cut off the nearest bud.

After the flowers of the fragrant vine fade, you can choose to propagate it by cuttings. It is best to do it in spring and autumn. Choose semi-lignified branches, cut about 20 cm long branches, and cut off the flowers and the leaves below.

Fertilization

Fertilizer can be applied after the flowers of the fragrant vine have faded. When applying solid fertilizer, you need to dig up the soil and bury the fertilizer in it, usually away from the roots. If it is liquid fertilizer, you can directly water it at the edge of the pot. In addition, if you want to apply foliar fertilizer, you need to use a spray bottle to spray it on the leaves.

Seed saving

There is no need to keep seeds after the flowers of the fragrant vine fade, because it is generally propagated by cuttings, which can be done in spring, summer and autumn. The temperature at this time is more suitable, which can promote its growth and the survival rate is relatively high.

Repotting

The fragrant vine can be repotted after the flowers fall. The withering of the flowers will not affect it. Choosing a suitable flowerpot can ensure good later growth. The soil preparation needs to be appropriate. It can be prepared with nutrient soil and sandy soil. Base fertilizer can be added appropriately.

prune

When pruning the fragrant vine after its flowers have faded, all the remaining withered flowers on the branches should be cut off with scissors to reduce the burden on the plant. After cutting the flowers, the crossed branches, overlapping branches, dead branches, and diseased branches on the plant should also be cut off.

Maintenance of Fragrant Vine after flowering

After the flowering period of the fragrant vine, disinfection work should be carried out after pruning is completed. Apply a disinfectant solution of carbendazim on the incision to prevent the plant from being infected with bacteria due to pruning, and place the flowerpot containing the plant in a well-ventilated place for ventilation to accelerate the healing speed of the plant.
