If the main branch is not growing well, you can also pick the core, leave the bottom of the main branch about 20 cm and cut it off. The wound of the branch should be smeared with soot or plant ash, which will help the wound to heal and prevent bacterial infection. It should be noted that there is no water in the wound, and the wound will become moldy and black after being soaked by water. You can get more sunshine, which is more conducive to wound recovery and new bud growth.
Branch thinning: According to the growth of geranium, select 3-5 main branches with vigorous growth and well-balanced branches near the base, and cut off the dense branches, thin branches and overgrown branches. After that, the main branches and side branches are cut off, and only strong buds can be left on each side branch, so that the whole plant can be divided evenly and compactly.
Pruning after flower withering: pruning residual flowers and some branches. The longer and higher the branches, the easier it is to age, and more branches will cause the plants to be gloomy and affect the growth and flowering. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the short section in time.
Autumn pruning: the pruning position can be carried out from above the stems and leaves, that is, near the base or above the soil surface 15 cm. If you are sure, you can cut it shorter or cut it to about 10 cm. When it is found that the wound is yellow after pruning, the yellow part should be cleaned in time, and a healing agent can be applied to the wound.
