If you don't prune now, do you expect your flowers to survive the summer? dream!

Jasmine: Prune after flowering

The hot and humid summer is very suitable for the growth of jasmine. If it is pruned in time after flowering, jasmine will bloom again during the dog days of summer!

1. If the jasmine flowers in this batch have not all bloomed, do not carry out large-scale pruning. Just cut off the withered flowers.

2. The flowering period of a single jasmine flower is one day and one night. Cutting off the withered flowers and calyx can speed up the germination of new buds and bloom again.

3. Wait until all the flowers in this batch have bloomed before you can start shaping and pruning them.

4. Count 1-2 pairs of leaves from the base of the jasmine branch and cut off the rest of the leaves above.

5. However, you can also retain one more or one less pair of branches and leaves according to the specific shape of the jasmine plant and the length of the branches.

6. Place the trimmed jasmine outdoors in a well-ventilated and sunny place for maintenance. In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high. Jasmine that is exposed to enough sunlight will sprout new leaves within ten days.

Rose: light pruning to re-bloom

The weather is quite hot now and the growth of roses is relatively weak, so light pruning is the main approach.

1. Choose the branches you want to bloom for pruning. The branches that sprout from the main buds are relatively thick, and the flowers that bloom are large and numerous, while the branches that sprout from the secondary buds are thin and weak, and the flowers that bloom are small. It is recommended to break them off by hand.

2. Cut off the blind buds. Blind buds on the branches consume a lot of nutrients and hinder the growth of the main branches, so cut them all off.

3. The blind branches on the plant should also be cut off. Blind branches will not bloom and will gradually become woody, blocking other branches, affecting ventilation and light, and being detrimental to the growth of roses.

4. Count three leaves from the base of the rose branch, and cut inward at a 45-degree angle 0.5 cm above the third leaf. Pruning from this position can allow new buds to grow, achieving the effect of re-flowering.

5. Cut an oblique section inwards 0.5 cm above the fifth leaf. If you prune from this position, many flower branches can grow and the rose will grow more vigorously.

Gardenia: Pruning after flowering

Gardenia has a strong germination ability and is very resistant to pruning. In order to make gardenia grow better and bloom more, pruning is necessary!

1. After gardenia blooms once, the plant shape is often full, the internal ventilation is poor, and there are many dead flowers and leaves, which easily accumulate bacteria and insect eggs, so they need to be picked off.

2. In order to enhance ventilation, all the thin branches inside the gardenia should be cut off.

3. Some small flower buds will grow at the bottom and thin inner branches of the gardenia. These small flower buds will not bloom, so they must all be cut off.

4. It is best to cut off the small buds on both sides of the flower buds before the flowers bloom, otherwise they will easily compete with the flowers for nutrients. You can also cut them off together with the blooming flowers after flowering.

5. After pruning, spray with carbendazim solution to avoid infection. Then just place it in a sunny place for maintenance.

Hydrangeas: Pruning after flowering

Now is the best time to prune hydrangeas. If you prune them after August, you won’t see the flowers next year!

1. Hydrangeas bloom on old branches, so the branches that have bloomed must not be completely cut off.

2. Look down along the flowering branches to find the place where the buds grow between the leaves and the branches, and cut the branches horizontally along the height of the buds.

3. In addition to pruning the flower branches, the deformed flower branches on the hydrangea plant should also be cut off. This flower branch is mainly formed due to insufficient fertilizer and water, so the flower buds on this branch will not bloom.

4. Follow this deformed branch downwards and find the stronger part of the branch and cut it off.

5. After pruning, apply decomposed cake fertilizer water once every half a month to promote the growth of branches, so that you can harvest a large area of ​​hydrangeas in the second year!

Petunia: Haircut After Flowering

Petunia is a flower that many flower lovers like to grow in summer. If it is not pruned after flowering, the petunia will grow more and more sparse, and gradually wither and die.

1. When the petunia is in full bloom, you must prune it hard so that the petunia will continue to sprout new flower buds. If you wait until the petunia has faded before pruning it, it will soon be dead.

2. Along the edge of the flower pot, first cut off all the branches that are too long, so that the length of the branches is almost the same, just reaching or not reaching the edge of the pot.

3. After pruning, you will find that there are many small branches and leaves on the branches of the petunia, and these branches must also be cut off.

4. After pruning, place it in a well-ventilated and sunny place and maintain it normally. In about a week, many new small leaves will sprout from the petunia.

Kalanchoe: Pruning for Summer

Kalanchoe will enter a dormant period in the summer. Timely pruning after the flowers have withered will reduce the consumption of nutrients in the branches and help the Kalanchoe to survive the summer.

1. Due to differences in varieties of Kalanchoe, the spacing between leaves on the stems is different. Some have larger internodes and are not easy to branch, while others have smaller internodes but many branches. Therefore, pruning needs to be carried out according to the specific situation.

2. For Kalanchoe with relatively large internode distances, you can count 1-2 pairs of leaves from the base of the flowering branches or the place with dense branches, and cut them above the leaves.

3. For Kalanchoe with small internode distance, you can choose branches with fewer branches and longer lengths for pruning. Compared with Kalanchoe with large internode distance, you can retain 1-2 more pairs of leaves.

4. After pruning, place the Kalanchoe in a ventilated place for maintenance, and it will spend the summer safely!
