1. Trimming time
The differentiation of flower buds in Spring Festival is produced by the branches of the previous year, so it is not suitable for pruning in autumn and winter, otherwise it will easily lead to a large number of buds being cut off and affect the appearance. Pruning time is generally within 10 days after flowers wither.
Pay attention to key points
After the potted plants wither in winter, the first thing to prune is the diseased branches, weak branches and dense branches. These branches are not conducive to the style of the plant or the flowering in the coming year, so they should be cut off decisively. In addition, the old branches need pruning. In winter, jasmine blossoms on the annual new branches, but many old branches can't.
Step 3: Pruning method
When pruning weak branches, diseased branches and dense branches, do not cut them directly from the roots of branches, but leave a section of 2-3cm. If you cut it directly from the root of the branch, the wound will dry up and scar will appear, which will affect the beauty of the whole plant, and it will also cause wound infection, leading to seed rot or poor growth.
Old branches are easy to affect plant morphology and need pruning. They can be cut directly from the roots of branches to ensure smooth wounds. Prune the flowering branches. Once the winter jasmine withers, prune all the flowering branches. When pruning flower branches, only 1 to 2 buds are left, and the rest are cut off. Whether it is better to leave 1 bud or 2 buds depends on your plant species.
4. Post maintenance
Pruned potted Jasminum nudiflorum should be placed in a sunny environment, which is easy to grow strong buds and effectively prevent the growth of new branches. In addition, you can turn the flowerpot into soil, upgrade it to a larger flowerpot, and just trim the flowers. In addition, the amount of watering should be reduced appropriately after pruning. Usually, the soil is dry before watering. Finally, do a good job of fertilization. Choose decomposed organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer, spread them on the edge of the basin for further growth, or water the organic fertilizer regularly.
The above is the introduction of how to prune the winter jasmine. I hope you can learn how to prune the winter jasmine and cultivate more beautiful flowers.
