In addition, strong branches and leaves should be shortened and drooping thin branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption.
3. Prune the remaining flowers
After the shrubs bloom, the remaining flowers should be pruned in time to prevent the remaining flowers from rotting, causing the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, and affecting the normal growth and development of the plant. During the process of pruning the remaining flowers , the remaining flowers and some flower branches should be cut off, and be sure to use sterilized sharp scissors.
4. Prune branches and leaves
In the process of maintaining shrubs, regularly prune overly long branches, overly dense branches, and spiny branches to promote the sprouting of new side branches of the shrub, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant. The growth is round and lush. In addition, after pruning, spray bactericidal agent on the wound to prevent bacterial infection.
