Taking advantage of the summer, when there is not so much to do in the flower garden, Yatou is here to share some flower-growing knowledge with everyone. It is said that management accounts for seven parts and nurturing for three, but if you keep growing them and never see any results, is that not really frustrating! At times like this, you cannot follow the usual routine! Just do one thing - cut, because sometimes this is the universal solution!

1. "Cut" leaves and branches

During the growth process, as flowers grow stronger and stronger and their leaves become denser and denser, yellow leaves, pests and the like will appear along with it. So promptly removing leaves can prevent these things from happening, and can also save the nutrients consumed by the leaves.

Of course, removing leaves also has its techniques:

Timing: when the flowers and plants are growing densely and are in the stage of sprouting new buds! Removing leaves at this time can effectively promote plant renewal!

Method: do not remove just any leaf. Remove the yellow leaves, the spotted ones, the ones with pests, and the aged leaves! Along the way, prune the branches a bit too!

2. "Cut" the heart

This is actually what is commonly called pinching off the top. Especially for those with relatively thin and sparse plant shapes, doing this can produce many branches in a short time, promote sprouting, and even flowering

Of course, pinching the heart and removing the top can be done multiple times:

Time: according to the growth condition of the plant! Generally, for newly grown seedlings, when they grow 6-8 leaves, the top leaves should be removed! And for things like morning glory and periwinkle, this type needs repeated pinching to control the plant shape.

3. "Cut" the buds

Once buds grow, they consume too many nutrients, so they should also be cut off in time!

During the budding period of flowers and plants, all kinds of uneven buds should be dealt with: if too many grow, they must be cut off; if they grow too weak, they must be cut off; if they grow too densely, they must definitely be cut off!

4. "Cut" the roots

When growing flowers, root rot often occurs, and most ways of handling it involve taking the plant out of the pot and trimming the roots. So Yatou wants to remind everyone not to wait until the roots rot before trimming. Every year when repotting, you can trim them appropriately! For old roots, blackened and rotting ones, and those growing too long and out of proportion, all can be trimmed appropriately.
