Give flowers a little buzz cut in spring, and the more they grow, the more vigorous they become, with lush leaves and abundant blooms

Give asparagus fern a little buzz cut, and it becomes more stylish

Some flower lovers don't know how to prune their asparagus fern, so it looks particularly shapeless, with messy branches and a few long branches without leaves sprouting out. Growing asparagus fern is all about achieving that elegant and graceful look. Let's see how Huahua prunes it.

1. Pinching

Pinching asparagus fern means cutting off the branches at the top, for example cutting off protruding branches. Regular pruning can promote the sprouting of more new branches. If the overall shape of the asparagus fern is really too ugly, you can also cut it down to the roots, and in a few days it will grow dense foliage.

2. Cut off thick shoots

After pinching the asparagus fern, some tender green new shoots will emerge from the soil. Cut off the thicker shoots and keep only the thin ones, because thick shoots won't grow into dense foliage when they mature, and keeping them just wastes nutrients for nothing.

3. After pruning, the asparagus fern is elegant and shapely

Asparagus fern grows relatively fast, and generally can be pruned once a week, which can make the branches and leaves dense and emerald green, with a more delicate shape and full of artistic flair!

Prune roses like this, and the blooms will be as big as a fist

Pruning is very important for roses. It can not only promote the sprouting of new branches and buds, but also produce more flowers. Some flower lovers' roses have very few side branches and few flowers, which is likely because they don't prune their roses.

1. Pinching

When the new shoots of the rose grow to 15-30 cm, you can cut off the tender tips. After cutting, it will generally grow 2 new branches.

2. Cut off blind branches

Blind branches are branches that don't grow flower buds. Cutting off blind branches can reduce nutrient consumption. If the rose has good water and fertilizer conditions but still has blind branches, then cut them off decisively.

3. Cut off diseased branches and spent flowers

If some rose branches have powdery mildew, you can cut off the diseased branches to avoid infecting healthy branches. After the flowers fade, also promptly cut off the spent flowers to reduce nutrient consumption.

4. After pruning, the roses bloom big and vibrant

Many flower lovers' roses bloom abundantly and beautifully, and this is almost always thanks to pruning. Pruning can not only make the rose's shape look better, but also make use of the limited nutrients in the soil to bloom like crazy!

Chop succulents once, and they'll burst with pups

Some flower lovers' succulents have grown leggy and the shape has become very ugly. Instead of looking at it and feeling annoyed, you might as well chop the succulent once, let it burst with pups again, and it can even go from single-headed to double-headed.

1. Use a small knife to behead

When beheading succulents, it's best to choose a sharp small knife, not scissors, because the blades of scissors are too thick and will damage the succulent's stem. After cutting off the upper part, let the wound dry, then you can stick it into the soil to root.

2. Find the right spot and make one cut

When beheading, it's best to choose a position with robust growth and cut quickly. Below, taking Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' as an example, let's look at the changes after beheading.

7 days after beheading, you can see side shoots have already grown out.

1 month after beheading, more side shoots burst out.

1-2 months after beheading, the Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' has vivid leaf colors, and the grown pups are stunningly beautiful!
