How to prune the tanchun flower

1. Prune dead branches

During the growth process, due to the influence of various metabolisms, some yellow branches may appear. When you see this, cut them off immediately to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients. In addition to dead branches, there are also weak branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, etc., which cannot be kept. Especially diseased and insect-infested branches, they must be completely cut off from the base to prevent infection of other branches. After cutting, put them together and burn them.

2. Remove flower branches

During the flowering period, you should do some light pruning and remove some of the branches that are not growing well. This will help concentrate the supply of nutrients, and the remaining flowers will bloom better and the plants will be more lush. It should be noted that heavy pruning is not allowed, otherwise the plant will be damaged and difficult to recover.

3. Remove the remaining flowers

After the flowers wither, pruning becomes the top priority. The remaining flowers must be removed immediately and not left on the branches. Then re-prune the flower branches and shorten part of the flowering branches to ensure the growth of flowering next year.

4. Pruning the root system

After the beginning of autumn, potted plants need to be repotted and soil changed to provide new nutrients for growth. At this time, you can take advantage of the time to repot to prune the roots and cut off old and rotten branches.
