Desert roses are generally pruned and shaped after flowering from May to 65438+February. Cut off the failed flowers first, and then wipe off all the buds on them. Cut off all useless dead branches, old branches and weak branches, leaving only 3 ~ 5 side branches. This can effectively inhibit the growth of desert roses, and it is necessary to shape them, which can increase their ornamental value.

1, pruning time

Pruning and shaping desert roses can make them more ornamental, but they are usually pruned after flowering from May to 65438+February. Pruning at this time can prevent the desert rose from growing white, the wound heals quickly, and prevent the desert rose from getting sick, which is not conducive to the growth of the desert rose.

Step 2 pick branches at the top

First, cut off the dead flowers of desert roses, and then cut off all the new buds at the top of desert roses, which can effectively inhibit their growth, prevent the branches from growing white, make the flowering branches get enough nutrition, promote the beautiful flowers to continue to bloom in the next year, and increase the ornamental value of desert roses.

Step 3 trim and reshape

In fact, the method of pruning and modeling desert roses is very simple. If dead branches and diseased branches are found in the pruning process, all of them can be cut off, while 3-5 lateral branches are kept, and all the others are cut off, and then pruning and shaping are carried out according to their own preferences, which can also reduce the consumption of soil nutrients by plants and make plants grow better.

4. Precautions: Don't prune desert roses in rainy days, and don't water and fertilize them immediately after pruning. Spray disinfectant in time to prevent the wound left by desert roses from rotting, then carefully maintain it for a week under astigmatism, and then water and fertilize it after the wound heals.
