How to trim baby's breath

1. How to prune baby's breath

1. By season

In winter, almost all the flowers of baby's breath fall off, so there is no need to prune it. In addition, you can prune baby's breath in spring, summer or autumn. You can check the growth of the branches and leaves at any time, and promptly cut off the excess branches and leaves that are useless for the growth of the main trunk, such as axillary branches. This can effectively concentrate the advantages of the existing main branches, and at the same time facilitate the plant to better receive light, better utilize light energy to synthesize organic matter, and better accumulate nutrients.

2. Cultivation of main branches

If you are cultivating the main branches, you can choose to cut off the side branches when pruning. This will guide the newly grown ears to grow towards the external space, increase the effective use of space, and enhance the air circulation between the various parts of the plant.

3. Beautiful

If it is just for the purpose of aesthetics, the branches and leaves of baby's breath can be trimmed at will according to personal preference. The cut parts will quickly grow tenderer and newer baby's breath branches and leaves in a short period of time. If the pruning frequency is higher, more new leaves will grow, and the whole plant will look more vital and fuller.

4. For better growth

While pruning the branches and leaves, you can also do some repairs to the roots. Because the soil of baby's breath is changed once a year, you can take advantage of the opportunity to change the soil to moderately prune the roots, thereby guiding its roots to grow into hanging roots with more ornamental value.

2. Maintenance methods after pruning

The growth after pruning requires sufficient sunlight, so it needs to be placed in a place where the sun can shine directly and has good ventilation conditions. However, it should be noted that there must be a certain humidity in the air and it should not be too dry, otherwise it will be detrimental to the photosynthesis of baby's breath.

In addition, the frequency of watering does not need to be too high. You only need to water when you see the soil is slightly dry.
