When to prune blue snow

The best time to prune blue snow is generally in late autumn, when the temperature is slowly dropping and is more comfortable. During this period, the growth trend of the plant will also slow down, so pruning will not hinder the growth of the plant.

The pruned branches of Blue Snow can be used for cuttings. The cutting method is also very simple. Choose stronger branches and then trim them to about 8cm long. Keep 2-3 pairs of leaves on each branch. Directly insert the branch into the prepared soil and water it.

How to prune branches of blue snow

When pruning blue snow, look down from the top of the plant and find a stronger bud point among the side branches as the pruning node. Then prune off the top bud of the selected side branch and observe whether the incision site has been sterilized.

The same operation as above, we also need to find other side branches of Blue Snow, select the weak branches and broken branches at the top that need to be pruned, and use the same method to select the top buds and cut off the weaker branches on the upper part of the branches.

Blue Snow Pruning Tips

When pruning blue snow plants, you should cut off the old branches and black branches, leaving the newly sprouted and strong branches. Only two or three leaves are needed on a branch. This will make the branches grow stronger and grow more side branches and small leaves. Of course, there are exceptions. After the blue snow flowers grow flower buds, too many leaves cannot be cut off.

Blue snow pruning grows fast

If you want the blue snow to grow faster, you can prune it in spring. The earlier you prune in spring, the earlier the new buds will grow. In less than half a month, the side buds will grow quickly.

Blue snow pruning flowering

Every bud of the blue snow flower will bloom. When the top bud has finished blooming, it needs to be cut off in time. The remaining side buds will grow out and many new flowers will soon bloom.

The branches of blue snow flowers that have bloomed will have empty shells like wheat ears left. Such branches generally will not bloom again. We can cut off all the branches with empty shells. This can prevent the blue snow flowers from setting seeds, reduce nutrient consumption, and be more conducive to the germination of the buds below.

Blue Snow Pruning Notes

When pruning blue snow flowers, you need to be careful that the pruning work after the flowers of the plant have faded does not belong to large-scale pruning, and the pruning should not be too large. Excessive pruning will affect the growth of the plant.
