During the breeding process of alyssum, it can be cut into flowers during the flowering period. When cutting branches during each flowering period, all the lower leaves need to be removed, and the excessively long parts at the lower end need to be cut off diagonally. , just keep the branches 20 to 30cm long, and disinfect the wounds. Insert them into a hydroponic container and add a few drops of nutrient solution, which can keep them longer and may even cause the branches to take root. Methods for pruning alyssum cut flowers

1. Remove leaves

After cutting alyssum flowers during each flowering period, they must be treated appropriately. It is necessary to remove all the leaves at the lower end of the branches of cut flowers. This can reduce the consumption of nutrients contained in the branches and keep the flowers longer. If they are not removed in time, it is easy for the flowers to wither early.

2. Cut branches

Usually, every time alyssum is cut, all its useless leaves can be removed. To shorten the branches, cut off the overly long lower ends of the branches so that the lower ends are inclined. Keep the branches 20 to 30cm long to avoid massive loss of nutrients.

3. Disinfection treatment

As for how to prune alyssum cut flowers, do not insert them directly after pruning the branches and leaves. For water maintenance, you can spray carbendazim on the branch wound once, or apply rooting powder, and place it in a cool place to dry the pruned wound. This will make the alyssum grow better.

4. Hydroponic maintenance

After pruning the cut flowers of alyssum during the flowering period, the treated branches can be inserted into a hydroponic container, into which can be injected Half of the water can also be poured into the sugar water container, and a few drops of nutrient solution need to be added. The water should be changed every three days. This can preserve the cut flower branches of alyssum for a longer period of time and may even allow them to take root.
