Problems left over from winter

The dormant period is the most important pruning time of the year. If you didn't seize the pruning timing in time, or if pruning left some problems behind, then post-bloom pruning in spring is a great chance to make up for it!

Those skilled gardeners with no leftover problems, please skip this section and go directlyto point 2~

Post-Bloom Pruning

Once the plant shape pruning is done, we can officially begin today's topic - post-bloom pruning!

I didn't get a photo after the flowers faded, so I'll use this seedling condition photo as an example.

The principle of post-bloom pruning is:Prune to below the 3rd compound leaf under the flower(as shown above). If the seedling is shorter, just prune to below the 2nd compound leaf under the flower. (It's best to ensure a branch has 3 compound leaves)

Post-bloom pruning has no strict height requirement. You can flexibly adjust the pruning height according to how many branches the seedling has and your preferred plant shape direction (uneven or neat and uniform).

Plant Shape Improvement

After pruning, if the branches are too compact and dense,to prevent frequent pests and diseases caused by poor ventilation, and to create a well-spaced ornamental effect, we can also use a small trick to easily improve the plant shape!

Yes, our cameraman forgot to take photos again, so we can only take screenshots from the video. Everyone, grasp the essence ha

As shown in the picture, usewire/bamboo stakesetc. (as long as they are thick and straight) to prop between the two branches you want to improve, and after some time the seedling will take shape!
