How to trim silk flowers

During the growth process of silk flowers, continuous pruning and shaping are required to maintain their beautiful shapes, which add beauty to them and make people feel relaxed and happy.

First: Prune the lush branches and leaves

When the silk flower is growing vigorously, you can appropriately cut off some of the long branches, dense branches, weak branches, etc. that have grown too long to keep the tree shape beautiful, generous and dignified. Be careful not to let the trimming wound come into contact with water and cover it with gauze to avoid infection.

Second: Prune multiple branches

When pruning, all clustered branches, crossed branches, inward branches, parallel branches, and leggy branches must be cut off. This will ensure the provision of nutrients for growth and will not waste nutrients and hinder growth.

In addition, cutting off the remaining flowers and removing the excess flower buds after flowering can also ensure that the nutrients for growth are not lost.

Last: Winter Pruning

To ensure the beauty of the plant, you can cut off 1/3 of the long branches, 1/3 of the middle branches, and make oblique cuts 1 cm above the leaves.

In winter, when pruning, be sure to leave some branches and also pay attention to maintaining the overall natural shape of the plant. When there are old and broken branches, weak and diseased branches should be cut off, and attention should be paid to cultivating the main trunk.
