In daily life, more and more people like to raise some flowers and plants. In addition to common foliage flowers such as green radish, chlorophytum, rich bamboo, and money tree, many flower lovers also like some flowering plants. These flowers have green leaves, tall and straight plants, beautiful flowers and fragrant smells.

For example, the bougainvillea I shared with you today is a green potted plant that many flower lovers like. Flowers can bloom every summer to autumn. Bougainvillea is a kind of flower with long flowers. Bougainvillea has dense flowers and bright colors, which is of high ornamental value at home. But every spring, bougainvillea must be pruned first to ensure that the plant can produce a lot of flowers in summer.

Pruning bougainvillea in spring is essential for family maintenance. Generally speaking, it is mainly to trim diseased branches, dead branches and long branches, pick the heart, pick the buds of the side branches, and then trim and shape the whole plant.

(1) pruning

1, pruning diseased and dead branches

For bougainvillea, during spring maintenance, all the diseased and dead branches of the plant should be cut off with scissors, and the leaves or yellow leaves with diseases and insect pests should be checked. If all the leaves are pruned, pests and diseases can be effectively prevented in the later stage.

2. Pick the heart with long branches

Topping bougainvillea, for long branches, you can directly cut off the top branches with scissors or pinch them off with your fingers, which can effectively remove the top advantage and let bougainvillea develop a large number of new buds and leaves from the side.

3. Pick buds from the side branches

If bougainvillea has sprouted and the plant has more and denser lateral branches, it can be thinned, otherwise the whole plant will grow a lot of leaves in the later stage, which will consume too much nutrition and affect the development of flower buds, so it is necessary to comb the denser lateral branches properly.

Step 4 trim.

When bougainvillea is maintained at home, everyone hopes that this plant will look good and bloom more. Especially in spring, the plants should be trimmed, and some inward branches, parallel branches and cross branches should be trimmed with scissors to make the branches of the whole plant grow outward.

After pruning bougainvillea by this method, the leaves and branches of bougainvillea bougainvillea can be sprayed with 0. 1% carbendazim aqueous solution once every 10 day, then disinfected and sprayed twice continuously. Pay attention to fertilization, watering and lighting during the later maintenance.
