Small seedlings or newly planted hydrangea seedlings should be cut off in time if they have flower buds. After cutting, you can concentrate on raising seedlings. Pruning can be done in spring and summer. After pruning, after growth and nutrient accumulation in autumn and winter, the buds germinated smoothly in the second year, and more buds grew, with many times more flowers.

Suitable pruning time of hydrangea

Except the cuttings and seedlings that have just been cut, the weaker branches can be pruned. For example, after the bloom of hydrangea is not finished in summer, when the flowers fail, the residual flowers should be cut off in time to avoid nutrient consumption.

At the same time, prune some dead branches and old branches without flowering ability every autumn and winter. Cut from the bottom, because the branches of hydrangea sprout from the bottom.

If these dead branches and old branches always occupy the position, it will lead to the emptiness at the bottom of the hydrangea, which makes it difficult to germinate. Just trim them in time.

Before and during flowering, except for seedlings, all kinds of hydrangeas are not recommended to be pruned. Cut it off at this time, and you won't appreciate the beautiful hydrangea, because the bud is also cut off.

Pruning method of hydrangea seedlings

If it is a pot of hydrangea whose seedlings are still tender or just bought back, our purpose is to strengthen it, make its branches stronger, make its roots developed, and blossom more and more in the later period.

Therefore, when the seedlings are young or just planted, if there are buds, they should be cut off in time. After cutting, you can concentrate on raising seedlings.

Pruning can be done in spring and summer. After pruning, after growth and nutrient accumulation in autumn and winter, the buds germinated smoothly in the second year, and more buds grew, with many times more flowers.

Pruning points of hydrangea after flowering

The best pruning season for hydrangea is after it blooms, as long as the hydrangea blooms.

When pruning, we choose to keep the full buds on the branches and cut off the position above the full buds. In this way, after the hydrangea is cut off, the remaining full buds can germinate and grow quickly.

Pruning method of endless summer hydrangea

For the endless summer hydrangeas, pruning is more casual. After the flowering period, one more branch can be pruned, or some branches can be cut off from the bottom to make it sprout stronger new buds.

But the pruning time should not be too late. In autumn, it is best to finish pruning before August and September.

This will give it enough time to grow, so that nutrients can accumulate on the branches and more flowers will bloom next spring. After pruning in this way, it has a considerable amount of flowers, and small seedlings become big seedlings, big flowers, long roots and long branches.

Matters needing attention in hydrangea pruning

It should be cut from the position where there are buds and the buds are full and healthy, so that after cutting, the buds on the lower branches will soon grow new branches.

Therefore, the buds of hydrangea seedlings must be cut off in time, so that its long roots can grow branches with peace of mind, and the seedlings become bigger, so that bigger plants can grow in the coming year, and the buds are full of branches.
