When to prune loofah The first pruning of loofah is done when the vine just produces small loofahs. At this time, the withered and yellowed branches on the vine are cut off. The second pruning is done when the loofah is about to mature. At this time, the newly grown branches are cut off. Try not to damage healthy branches when pruning. After each pruning, water and fertilize the vine in time. How to trim the branches and leaves of loofah Some withered branches will appear during the growth period of the loofah, which should be pruned in time. If you want to prune the loofah, it is generally best to prune it after some loofahs have grown. When there are too many loofah vines, you need to top off some of the branches. Loofah pruning makes it grow faster The flowers without melons on the loofah stalks are male flowers. These flowers bloom for too long, up to more than 30 days, and consume a lot of nutrients. Therefore, pruning off the male flowers and leaving only a small part can speed up their growth. Loofah pruning and flowering Pruning some excess branches, old leaves at the bottom, and excess tendrils of the loofah can improve its density, increase light, and help it bloom quickly. Loofah pruning results in more If there are too many young branches and vines of loofah, it will cause a conflict between competing for light or nutrients. The weaker stems and vines can be pinched back or appropriately thinned out to concentrate nutrients on the growth of strong vines and the enlargement of loofah fruits. Precautions for pruning loofah When pruning the loofah, be careful not to damage the healthy vines and branches. After each pruning, the loofah needs to be watered and fertilized in time, and appropriate shade should be provided. |
