Pruning method of desert rose
1, coring: The best coring time of desert rose is at seedling stage. When the plant grows to about 10 cm, the upper leaves can be removed, which can effectively promote branching.
2. Thinning: When there are many roses in the desert, it is necessary to thin the branches. Leave 4-5 strong branches on the main branch and cut off all the other branches.
3. Cut short: After the desert roses grow to a certain height, cut them short. The height can be determined according to the growth of the plant, and then all the remaining parts can be cut off, and the main branches and side branches can also be cut short.
4. Remove dead leaves and diseased branches: During the growth of desert roses, the leaves will wither due to sudden environmental changes and improper maintenance methods. Cut off dead branches in time, and don't be reluctant to trim them. Only after all of them are cleaned up can we effectively solve the problem of dead branches.
