1. Pruning during the growing seasonYou can prune its flower stems as it grows, but this should be done after it has reached two years old. Because it usually takes several years for newly planted lavender to grow into plants. The first year the number of flowers is small, but each year thereafter the number of flowers will increase. Now it needs to be trimmed. The cut flower stems can be used to make dried flowers or placed in vases for decoration. 2. Pruning during flowering periodThe best time to prune flower stems is during the flowering period, which is in late spring and early summer each year. At this time, the essential oil in the plant has a particularly strong smell. Of course, you can wait a few weeks after it blooms to prune, but the flavor will be less intense by then. Therefore, if you want to make essential oils, it is best to choose the flowering period. 3. Pruning methodWhen pruning flower stems, use clean pruning shears. However, it must be cleaned and properly disinfected before use to prevent bacterial infection in the plant wounds. At the same time, the pruning shears you choose should be sharp enough to ensure clean and smooth cuts. First, hold it in your hands, then use pruning sticks to cut off two-thirds of it, leaving one-third of the flower stem on top. |
