How to trim golden bud flowers to look good

When is the best time to prune goldenrod?

The best time for pruning is spring and autumn. Spring is the best time for it to sprout new buds and grow leaves. At this time, some of its weak branches, old leaves, etc. can be cut off; after the flowering period, the withered flowers should be cut off; if there are yellow leaves in winter, they still need to be cut off in time to prevent them from falling naturally into the flowerpot.

Tips for pruning goldenrod

Pinching during the seedling stage: Pinching usually starts during the seedling stage. The first pinching is when the plant grows to a height of about 6 cm. The top tender shoots are removed to allow it to sprout side branches. The second pinching is when the side branches grow to 4 cm long and cut them short, which can allow the golden bud flower to have more branches.

Thinning and scissoring during the growing season: Thinning means cutting off overcrowded branches, crossed branches, old branches, etc., retaining new and strong branches, making the branches and leaves sparse and dense for more light transmission, thus avoiding overcrowding and causing some branches and leaves to grow poorly;

It is used more frequently; shortcut it from 1/2 of the plant height, keep the branches and leaves below, and cut off all the branches and leaves above. The cut branches and leaves should be processed together.

Precautions for pruning goldenrod

During the pruning process, the cut should be kept as smooth as possible, and the wound can be smeared with plant ash to prevent bacteria from infecting the plant from the wound. After pruning, the golden bud flower should be placed in a cool and ventilated environment to prevent sun exposure and rain erosion. Wait until the wound is dry before carrying out daily management according to the breeding method.
