It is the basic principle of seedling pruning to emphasize the beauty of tree shape and ignore the growth of seedlings, first ensure their normal growth, and then make them have a beautiful tree shape, which is beneficial to viewing. However, in daily work, many people put the cart before the horse, put "beauty" first, and take measures such as cutting off big branches to adjust the tree shape, which affects the normal growth of seedlings. Therefore, the pruning scheme should be carefully designed before pruning, and the first priority of pruning is not to affect the normal growth of seedlings.
Heavy thinning, short cutting and light thinning of flower buds In order to reduce the flowering amount and make the flowers big and lasting, we often thin branches or cut short on flowering shrubs such as peach blossoms and elm flowers. In fact, in the pruning process, especially in winter or early spring, under the premise of ensuring the normal growth and beautiful tree shape of gorgeous begonia seedlings, the thinning or short cutting of branches can be appropriately reduced, and the over-dense flower buds can also effectively concentrate nutrition, so that the preserved flower buds can bloom big and long.
Heavy dormancy pruning, light growth pruning in the work, many people pay more attention to dormancy pruning of gorgeous begonia seedlings, while ignoring pruning during the growth period such as picking bamboo shoots and removing tillers. As we all know, pruning in seedling growth period is also very important. Reasonable pruning can not only make seedlings grow vigorously and form a beautiful crown, but also effectively reduce the workload of pruning in dormancy period.
Pruning before heavy flowering, pruning after light flowering in work, people often attach importance to pruning before flowering of flower seedlings, because pruning before flowering can ensure the quality of flowering. Pruning after flowering is often neglected, which affects the growth of such seedlings, the differentiation of flower buds and the flowering quality in the coming year. Pruning after flowering is also a very important job, which must be done thoroughly.
For some flowering shrubs, pay attention to cutting the branches short and ignore the regeneration of the branches. For example, when pruning Malus pedunculata, the habit of "flowering old branches" of Malus pedunculata was misunderstood, and only some branches were cut short, while the renewal of some flowering old branches was ignored. In fact, the most prosperous flowering of sessile begonia is the branches of 3 to 5 years old, and the flowering ability of the old branches over 5 years old is gradually weakened. Therefore, the old flower branches should be updated in time to keep the whole plant blooming all the time.
