Do you like plants with gorgeous flowers? Do you like flowers with a delicate fragrance? If so, then you certainly won't turn down the plant we're going to talk about today. Because it has these characteristics, it has now become a potted flowering plant loved by everyone. Planting it in a courtyard, or placing it at home or in the office, is a good choice. Pruning is an important aspect of its care, so how exactly should it be done?

1. Is this plant tolerant of pruning?

We should understand that this plant has clustered branches, and most importantly, its sprouting ability is extremely strong. So we can know that it is very tolerant of pruning. Therefore, we don't need to worry that pruning too much will harm it.

2. Choosing the time

(1) First, when the plant is growing very fast, carry out "pinching" to encourage it to branch as soon as possible.

(2) You can also prune it after it blooms. This plant does not bloom only once a year. Its first bloom roughly starts at the end of January and ends at the end of February, and at this time you can prune once. The second bloom starts at the end of February and ends at the beginning of April, and you can prune once more. Generally speaking, pruning after blooming is the most common, so we will introduce its steps in detail.

3. Specific methods

(1) To prune well, you can place the plant on a turntable and prune while turning it, so the result is the best.

(2) Try to cut short the branches that have already bloomed, as this can encourage them to branch, so the number of flowers in the next bloom will be greater.

(3) In addition, we should also cut off the thinner and weaker branches, diseased branches, and aged branches, and keep the newly grown and strong branches.

(4) Also, to ensure the overall shape of the plant remains ornamental, we can cut off its overlapping and crossing branches; in addition, deformed leaves and leaves that hinder the display must also be cut off, making the plant look better.
