First time, pack and tidy up.
As the saying goes, peony grows a foot and withers eight inches. The first pruning after packaging is mainly to cut off the dead parts at the top of the branches and remove the dead leaves and residual branches on the flower branches. Clean up the fallen leaves and other sundries on the surface. It belongs to the cleaning stage.
The second time, pruning in the bud.
After half a month, new buds will grow on the new branches of peony, and then the buds on the new branches need to be trimmed. Leave at most 3 buds on each new branch. Don't rot in Que Ning, because too many buds will compete for the nutrients transferred by the branches. The more buds there are, the less nutrients each bud gets and the worse it grows. Therefore, it is reasonable to leave three buds on each new branch. The pruning here also needs to prune some dead branches and branches with no room for development. It belongs to the final stage.
The third time, flowering pruning.
Pruning should be done at the beginning of flowering. The main purpose of this pruning is to maintain the top advantage of flowers and flowers with fuller lateral branches. At the same time, it is necessary to cut off the redundant branches and keep the developing branches, so as to lay a good foundation for the overall appreciation of the blooming plants and flowers in the future.
