When to prune white orchids

White jasmine can be pruned in April and May and in September after flowering. In April and May, all poorly growing leaves on the plant can be pruned off, and the overly dense branches and leaves can be thinned out. In September, all old branches with dead flowers and leaves can be pruned off.

How to prune the branches of white orchid

When the plant has poorly growing branches and leaves, it needs to be pruned. The pruning tools need to be disinfected, and the sick, old, overlapping, crossed, rotten and unsightly branches need to be pruned away. After the flowering period is over, the dead flowers and non-flowering buds need to be pruned away.

Generally, according to the law of survival of the fittest, it is necessary to cut off those diseased branches, insect-infested branches, and bent and entangled branches from the base. This can not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also encourage the plant to sprout new branches and make the new branches grow stronger.

White orchid pruning grows fast

The side branches of white jasmine or the twigs on the side branches can be pulled to change the direction of the branches and promote the formation of new branches and flower buds. During its vigorous growth period, the straight side branches can be bent toward areas with larger space until cracks appear. Repeat this process after a week. You can also pinch the branches. After the flowers wither, you need to trim the remaining flowers in time.

Potted white jasmine should have dead and old branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, long and dense branches pruned, and the old leaves at the bottom of the branches should be removed appropriately to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of new branches.

Tips for pruning white orchids

After pruning, the white jasmine must not be placed directly in the sun, but in a well-ventilated, cool place, and the temperature should be kept at 20-25 degrees. This will allow its side branches to grow faster. Do not spray water on the cut frequently after pruning, otherwise it will easily lead to slower wound healing.
