Pruning of hydrangeaPruning hydrangeas can reduce nutrient loss and improve their ornamental value. Timely pruning of dead flowers after the flowering period helps the plant to look beautiful while also helping to supply more nutrients for the plant's healthy growth. Hydrangea pruning timeHydrangeas can be pruned in summer and autumn. If diseased, insect-infested, weak, or messy branches are found during their growth period, they need to be cut off as soon as possible to avoid consuming unnecessary nutrients in the potting soil. How many times should hydrangea be pruned?Hydrangea is very resistant to pruning and can be pruned all year round without affecting its flowering. If no pruning is done, it will not bloom. Propagation of Hydrangea by CuttingThe flower buds of hydrangeas will differentiate in autumn, so the flower branches can be cut off in June, leaving only 15 cm at the base to promote the germination of new branches, which will soon grow into new branches and then grow more hydrangeas. How to prune hydrangeaIn spring, hydrangeas begin to sprout new buds, and they need more nutrients at this time. You can promptly prune old branches, weak branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, and cross branches to make them sprout new buds. After the flowering period is over, cut off the crowded and protruding branches, and you can shorten the overly long branches. In winter, in order to allow them to survive the winter smoothly, you also need to prune dead branches and fallen leaves. Things to note when pruning hydrangeasIf you don't know how to prune hydrangeas, then don't prune them. They will still bloom in the following summer. But if you don't prune them, many new buds will grow from the roots in the following spring. The whole pot of seedlings will look messy and its ornamental value will be reduced. In addition, after pruning, keep the wound dry and do not water it. If there is water in the wound, it will cause rot. |
