How do you prune a Kalanchoe that has finished blooming?

1. Normally, if you notice the Kalanchoe at home starting to turn black in color, and the flowers feel a bit soft, and the flower stems start to droop, it basically means it is time to prune.

2. When pruning, use sterilized scissors and cut starting from the position of the 2 pairs of leaves below the flower. As shown in the picture below, just prune from the position below 2.

3. After pruning, place the Kalanchoe in a cool, ventilated place first to let the wound dry. After about 1 week, move it to a south-facing balcony to receive plenty of sunlight. During this period, water only after the surface of the potting soil turns white, to avoid root rot.

4. If you want the Kalanchoe to sprout new branches as soon as possible, be sure to supplement nitrogen-containing fertilizer in time. You can bury 3-5 granules of compound fertilizer in the flowerpot, or use homemade decomposed soybean fertilizer, bean dregs fertilizer, etc., to make the Kalanchoe grow more new branches and thus bloom more.

5. Do not throw away the branches you cut off, because the branches after flowering are especially full of nutrients. If used for cuttings, the rooting rate is very fast, and they can root in about 20 days!

One cut after Christmas cactus blooms, and it blooms as many times as you want!

Some flower lovers' Christmas cactuses only bloom once and then never again, but other people's Christmas cactuses can bloom 3-4 times a year. What is going on? Of course it is because the post-bloom pruning was done properly!

How do you prune a Christmas cactus that has finished blooming?

1. If you find that the flowers on your Christmas cactus have begun to wilt to varying degrees, then hurry and grab a pair of scissors and prune away, or else the flowers left on the leaves will also consume unnecessary nutrients.

2. When using scissors to prune the spent flowers, cut at the middle node position of the 2nd-3rd leaf below the spent flower on the Christmas cactus, that is, cut off the 2 leaves counting down from the spent flower. If the Christmas cactus leaves are long enough, you can also cut a bit more; basically, leaving only 6-8 nodes of leaves on each branch is enough.

Before pruning:

After pruning:

3. After pruning the spent flowers, the branches should be cut back, removing all the old stems and overly dense stem nodes on the branches. The new branches that grow after pruning will be more tender green and robust, making the flowering more abundant!

4. After the Christmas cactus blooms, because it has consumed a large amount of nutrients, it has a short dormant period. At this time, we can take advantage of the dormant period to repot the Christmas cactus, cut off the old roots and weak roots, and then place enough base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, such as soybean cake fertilizer, bone meal fertilizer, or homemade fermented bean dregs fertilizer.

5. During the dormant period, control water for the Christmas cactus and stop fertilizing. Wait until new buds sprout on the stem nodes, then apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every half month. When fertilizing, do not let it touch the stem nodes, so that the modified stems grow quickly. After flower buds appear, spray a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, and the Christmas cactus will bloom again very soon!

6. Do not throw away the Christmas cactus leaves you cut off. Prepare a nutrient soil mixed with peat soil and perlite at 2:1, and use the Christmas cactus leaves for cuttings. They can root in about 10-20 days!

One cut after camellia blooms, and it blooms as many times as you want!

Because varieties differ, some flower lovers' camellias at home are still blooming, while some other flower lovers' camellias have basically finished blooming and are preparing to enter the spring shoot growth period. At this time, you must prune promptly!

How do you prune a camellia that has finished blooming?

1. After the camellia at home finishes blooming, be sure to prune promptly to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption. After the camellia finishes blooming, a flower base will remain on the branch. The post-bloom pruning we need to do mainly involves pruning the 2 leaves at the tip below the flower base.

2. Cut off the 2 leaves at the tip of the flower base. If the tip leaves are staggered, then just prune 1. Because the growth of camellia has apical dominance, new shoots all emerge from the tip. Pruning this way can promote the growth of side branches, making more and more branches, and thus more and more flowers.

3. After pruning the spent flowers, cut back the branches, removing old branches, weak branches, parallel branches, etc., to promote new branches and improve the vitality of the camellia.

4. After pruning the spent camellia flowers, before the spring shoots bud, you can apply 1 round of compound fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer or bean dregs fertilizer, to supplement enough nutrients for the camellia to send out shoots. After the new buds bud, spray 1 round of foliar fertilizer, which can make the spring buds sprout vigorously.

5. When the spring shoots of the camellia grow to 10-20cm, you should disbud the spring shoots, remove the bud points at the tip, and leave 3-4 leaves, so that side branches emerge as soon as possible, making the overall shape of the camellia look better.

6. Do not throw away the camellia branches you cut off either. After trimming them a little, you can directly insert them into the soil for cuttings. In spring, when the temperature is high and the temperature and humidity are sufficient, the cut camellia can root in about 10 days!

One cut after cyclamen blooms, and it immediately blooms a second round!

Grow Flowers Encyclopedia

Many flower lovers' cyclamens at home bloom once during the New Year and then directly die, after which they are thrown straight into the trash. Actually, after this cyclamen blooms, as long as you care for it well, reblooming is super easy!

How do you prune a cyclamen that has finished blooming?

1. For a cyclamen that has finished blooming, be sure to cut off the spent flowers promptly. Generally, prune from the base of the flower root, cutting off the entire flower stem.

2. Besides the spent flowers, all the dead branches and withered leaves should also be removed. If you do not want to use scissors, you can also just pull them off with your hands.

3. Cyclamen flowering consumes a large amount of nutrients from the tuber, so after post-bloom pruning, nutrients must be supplemented. You can bury 2-4 granules of compound fertilizer in the flowerpot, or water with some homemade liquid fertilizer, so that the tuber can accumulate nutrients.

4. In summer, when the weather is hot, cyclamen enters a dormant period and the leaves continuously wither. At this time, stop water and fertilizer, and place the flowerpot in a cool, ventilated place indoors for care, so that it can get through the summer safely.

5. When the temperature drops in autumn, the cyclamen tuber will wake up from dormancy, begin to sprout new buds, grow flower buds, and thus successfully rebloom. It is just that the reblooming cyclamen will bloom slightly less than the first time.

Although many flower lovers' roses at home are still growing flower buds now, some flower lovers told Huahua that in the warmer south, quite a few roses have almost finished their first flush of blooms, which really makes Huahua envious and jealous!

How do you prune a rose that has finished blooming?

1. After the spring flush of roses ends, be sure to cut off the spent spring flowers promptly. Only in this way can nutrient consumption be avoided, so that the roses have enough nutrients to bloom a second time right away.

2. When pruning, cut from about 0.5cm above the rose's 3 leaves, at a 45° angle, slanting inward, so that the entire spent flower is cut off.

3. Blind branches and thin, weak branches on the rose branches should also be cut off promptly, and the bud points and leaves growing inward and downward should also be cut off at the same time, to promote ventilation and light inside the plant, enhance the disease resistance of the rose, and also allow more nutrients to be supplied to the branches that bloom.

4. After the rose blooms, if you want it to sprout as soon as possible for a second bloom, you must supplement fertilizer in time. Things like decomposed rice water and compound fertilizer can all be used for roses, about once every 10 days. After the rose grows flower buds, you can also water with some fishy water, which can make the roses bloom bigger and more abundant!

5. Cut the pruned rose branches into small sections of about 7-10cm, and directly insert them into soil for cuttings, or place them in water for water propagation. They will basically root very quickly!
