1. Pinching and topping : During the seedling stage of blue snow flower, choose branches that are too long, then find strong buds, cut them off above the buds, and apply an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution for disinfection.

2. Pruning : The side branches of blue snow flower should be consistent with the length of the main branches. If they are too long, they can be shortened above the bud point. Applying potassium permanganate solution on the wound can promote better growth of the branches.

Pruning blue snow flowers can extend the flowering period. It is best to prune in autumn. Just cut off the aging branches and leave the newly sprouted branches.

In addition, the earlier the blue snow flower is pruned in spring, the faster the side branches will grow. In less than half a month, side buds will grow out. The more side buds there are, the more flowers there will be.
