In order to prevent frostbite, flowers and plants still kept outdoors should be moved back to the house for maintenance.
Before entering the room, the flower friends remember to trim the flowers and plants, which can help the plants to survive the winter safely and grow more vigorously in the coming year.
Why trim it before winter?
After a year, before winter, the branches of flowers and plants often grow in a mess.
Directly moving indoors, branches and leaves will block each other's sunshine, affect the light and consume a lot of nutrients.
Too thin branches have poor frost resistance and are easy to be frostbitten in winter, which is not conducive to germination in the next spring.
In addition, if the leaves of plants are too dense and not pruned, the aeration of plant types will become worse, which will easily breed various bacteria and pests and lead to flower diseases.
Therefore, before moving flowers and plants indoors in winter, flower friends should remember to prune them to help them spend the winter, and the new branches that will grow next spring will be stronger.
hydrangea
Hydrangea, also known as hydrangea, Ajisai and pink flower, is often planted in gardens or potted on balconies by flower friends.
After beginning of winter, hydrangea began to have yellow leaves and fallen leaves, and entered a dormant period.
Hydrangeas planted on the ground can be exposed, but potted hydrangeas still need some protective measures, and it is best to move them from outdoor to balcony for maintenance.
Pruning method
Most hydrangeas belong to the old branch flowering varieties, and the flower buds on the old branches will differentiate and form in late autumn every year. After growing in one winter, they will sprout and bloom in the next year.
Therefore, hydrangeas should not be cut too much and too heavily in winter, so as not to hurt the flower buds on the old branches, and they will not bloom in the next year.
We just need to clean up the dead leaves, cut off all the residual flowers, and then trim the branches that are too thin and dense a little.
Chinese rose
Rose, rose, month after month.
Rose is very popular among flower lovers because of its good flowering period.
After the temperature drops in winter, the leaves of Chinese rose will soon turn yellow and fall off, and will not bloom again.
But as long as we prune and move the flowerpot back to the warm room, the rose can continue to bloom after the temperature warms up in winter.
Pruning method
All flower lovers who have raised Chinese rose know that Chinese rose is a very morbid plant.
Before moving back indoors, you must trim it more heavily to avoid taking the remaining pests and diseases on the branches and leaves home.
When pruning Chinese roses, all branches should be cut as short as possible, and the branches that are too dense and too thin and sick should be cut directly.
After pruning, it is best to change the pot soil for the rose to prevent the eggs from being brought indoors.
If you don't want to change pots, you can spray fungicides and pesticides on soil and branches and leaves once, and you can also prevent pests and diseases.
Phyllanthus
Bougainvillea, also known as bougainvillea, is a very popular flower variety in recent years.
Bougainvillea is native to Brazil. Like high temperature environment, poor cold resistance.
When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, bougainvillea will shed leaves in a large area, and if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees for a long time, it will directly freeze to death.
After the temperature drops in winter, flower friends should move back indoors for maintenance as soon as possible, otherwise bougainvillea will be easily frostbitten.
Pruning method
Branches of bougainvillea grow too thin and are easy to get frostbite.
Before entering the house in winter, cut off the branches that are too thin, leaving only the thick branches.
Bougainvillea hardly grows in winter, and the branches that are too high should be shortened to reduce nutrient consumption and plant burden.
eucalyptus
Yushu is a very common green plant in daily life. Its leaves are green and crystal clear, its branches are pale and simple, and it is often raised as a bonsai for appreciation.
Yushu has fleshy leaves and stems, which is particularly intolerant of freezing.
The frostbitten branches and leaves of Yushu will become soft and rotten, which will greatly affect the ornamental value. After the weather cools down, you must move back indoors in time for maintenance.
Pruning method
The main purpose of pruning Yushu before entering the house in winter is to reduce nutrient consumption and improve the ornamental value of plants by pruning branches, and not to cut too much.
We mainly cut off the sprouting twigs and buds at the bottom of the trunk, and then observe the overall plant type, and cut off the branches that are too dense to make the whole crown full.
Blue snow
Blue snowflake, it is strong, less pests and diseases, light blue flowers give people a quiet and cool feeling.
Blue snowflakes have a long flowering period. In the natural state, it can be opened from spring to autumn. You can trim it properly in winter and then move it back indoors for maintenance. Keep the temperature above 15 degrees, and flowers can still bloom in winter.
Pruning method
Blue snowflakes grow quickly and often grow into "claws".
Before entering the house in winter, cut off the branches that are too long, too dense, residual flowers and poor growth.
Remember to cut off the green buds at the top of each branch, which will help the growth of lateral buds and make them bloom in large numbers.
jasmine
Molly, I believe all the flower friends are familiar with it.
It belongs to a typical southern flower and likes a warmer environment.
When the temperature is below 5 degrees, the branches of jasmine will be slightly frozen, and below 0 degrees, it will freeze to death.
Therefore, when the outdoor temperature is close to 5 degrees, it is necessary to move the jasmine back indoors in time for maintenance.
The old branches of jasmine have strong frost resistance and are not easy to be damaged by freezing, and the new branches can sprout and bloom in the next year.
But the new branches are very cold-resistant, and it is easy to freeze in winter.
Therefore, when pruning, don't be too hard, so as not to cut off too many old branches, reduce the cold resistance of plants and reduce the amount of flowers in the next year.
Pruning method
Prune jasmine before entering the house in winter, mainly pruning new buds and shoots.
First, clean up the old leaves and expose the branches.
Cut off the branches that are too thin with scissors first, and then cut off the branches that are too dense.
Then cut all the branches short, generally leaving about 20 cm of branches.
This pruning will basically cut off all the new branches, leaving only the thicker old branches.
After a winter dormancy, the old branches will sprout strong buds in spring and continue to grow and bloom.
