Rose and gardenia... snap, just one cut, the flower buds pop up, the pot is full of them!

Rose

There are many varieties of roses with bright and beautiful colors, and they are deeply loved by flower lovers. However, when it comes to pruning, people either don’t know how or can’t bring themselves to do it. How can you see the flowers bloom?

Daily pruning:

1. Cut off old and weak branches.

① The presence of old and weak branches will affect the absorption of water and nutrients by other branches, and cannot guarantee the needs of strong branches.

②In addition, cutting off old and weak branches can reduce the chance of the plant being infected by pests and diseases, improve the rose's disease resistance, and make it healthier.

2. Cut off blind branches and inward branches.

① Blind branches are those branches that stop growing and will not produce buds. Keeping such branches will only take away nutrients.

② Cut off the branches that grow inward, especially the branches at the bottom, which will help improve ventilation and light transmission, reduce the infection of pests and diseases, and promote the germination of flower buds on the upper part.

3. Cut off dead leaves, diseased leaves and residual flowers.

① Once you find dead or diseased leaves on the rose, you should cut them off in time. In addition to competing with normal branches and leaves for nutrients, they will also be infected by pests and infect the entire rose plant.

② Catch up with the flowering period and cut off the withered flowers in time.

Pruning after flowering:

1. How to make single-flowered roses bloom again and promote the growth of new branches?

① When the rose is about to wither, cut it at a 45° angle below the flower (above the three leaves) to promote re-flowering.

② Make a cut at a 45° angle about 0.5cm above the five leaves to promote the growth of new branches.

2. How to make multi-headed roses bloom more and grow new branches?

① Cut off the lower end of each flower bud close to the node, with the incision about 0.5 cm away from the node. This way of cutting can allow for repeated flowering.

② Cut off every other branch below all the flower buds. This way of cutting can promote the growth of new branches of the rose.

Azalea

Huahua has seen many flower lovers asking how to prune rhododendrons. In fact, they just want to have a good-looking shape. The important thing is to be willing to touch it.

Daily pruning:

1. Cut off dead branches and diseased leaves.

Dead branches and diseased leaves not only waste nutrients and water, but are also prone to causing diseases and pests, so during daily maintenance, just cut them off if you find them.

2. Pinch and top the plants.

If you want the azalea to grow thicker and fuller in shape, pinching and topping the plants frequently is a good idea. Cutting off the top buds can promote the development of lateral buds and make the azalea look more lush.

Pruning after flowering:

1. Cut off all the remaining flowers.

Rhododendrons are not easy to fall off after they wither, so you have to manually cut off the remaining flowers to promote the growth of new branches on both sides.

2. Cut off overlapping branches and overgrown branches.

If the branches of azalea grow too densely, it will affect the germination of new buds after flowering. The long branches will waste nutrients and affect the overall shape of the azalea, so both must be cut off in time.

Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea has become a new favorite among flower lovers. They are envious of its eight-story-high flower waterfall, but it cannot grow well if they just leave it alone! Let’s take a look at how to trim it.

1. Cut off deformed branches, overgrown branches, and overlapping branches.

Deformed branches refer to those branches that grow twisted, or grow between the main branches and fail to develop, or grow parallel to the main branches. These branches should be pruned in time to promote the development of new branches.

Overlapping branches will make the branches of Bougainvillea look too complicated, and overgrown branches will make the shape of Bougainvillea appear loose. Both of these should be pruned away on a regular basis.

2. Cut off weak and dead branches.

The vitality of weak branches is not as strong as that of strong branches, and even if they sprout, they are not as good as strong branches. Timely pruning can ensure that strong branches will produce better buds.

Dead branches no longer have the ability to grow new branches and should be pruned off in time to promote the development of new branches.

Gardenia

If gardenia is not pruned properly, it will easily grow too tall and drop its buds. Those lazy flower lovers should take action after reading this!

Daily pruning:

1. Cut off the overgrown branches and branches with bad directions.

Branches that are too long or grow towards the main branches should be pruned off to ensure balanced growth of the gardenia.

2. Cut off dead and diseased leaves.

Dead leaves should be removed immediately, otherwise they will take up nutrients from other healthy leaves. Diseased leaves should be cut thoroughly to prevent other branches and leaves from being infected.

3. Cut off the extra flower buds.

Only 2 to 3 flower buds need to be kept on one branch. Keep the strong ones and cut off the weak ones to avoid insufficient nutrition and failure to bloom.

4. Cut off the leaves around the flower buds during the flowering period.

In order to ensure that the remaining flower buds can bloom normally, it is recommended to cut the large leaves under the flower buds so that the nutrients will be supplied to the flower buds in a more concentrated manner.

Pruning after flowering:

1. Cut off the remaining flowers.

Gardenia should be cut off in time after it finishes blooming, otherwise it will slow down the birth of new buds.

2. Pinch and top the plants.

After the flowers fall, gardenia will grow many new terminal buds. At this time, you can pinch and top the plant, cutting off some of the terminal buds to promote the development of side buds and make the gardenia grow more luxuriantly.

Milan

Milan can be pruned all year round, heavy pruning in spring, and daily pruning and maintenance in autumn and winter.

1. Daily pruning mainly involves cutting off overgrown branches, inward branches, dead branches and diseased branches. This ensures normal ventilation and light transmission of the plant, and also ensures that the strong branches have sufficient nutrient supply.

2. After Milan sprouts new buds, you can pinch the top to promote the development of side buds.

3. Heavy pruning can be done in spring, which means cutting off all the branches. The purpose of doing this is to allow Milan to grow more side branches, allow the plant to develop horizontally, and expand the crown.

4. Large-scale pruning is generally not recommended in the summer when the temperature is high.

That’s all for today regarding flower pruning

In fact, the more you cut the flowers, the faster they grow.

If the flowers at home are losing their vitality, just pick up the scissors and give it a try!
