How to prune Margaret flowers

When to prune Margaret flowers

The best time to prune Margaret is after its flowering period. Pruning off the dead flowers and branches in time can save nutrients and prepare for the next flowering.

The length of the cuttings for Margarite cuttings is about 10 cm. Remove the leaves at the bottom of the branches and insert the branches into water for maintenance. Generally, they will take root after about a week of maintenance. At this time, they can be planted in a flowerpot that is watered thoroughly and maintained in a cool place for one or two weeks.

When caring for Margarite, you need to pinch and top the newly grown branches, and keep the seedlings at a height of about 10 cm. This can promote the differentiation of its branches and leaves and make its plant shape fuller.

When the marigold becomes lignified and the lower branches age and wilt, you should choose a strong branch as a nutrient branch and cut off all other branches. When the newly grown branches grow enough new leaves for photosynthesis, you can cut off the previous nutrient branches and allow it to grow normally.
