Long-lived Christmas cactus... cut it once after it blooms, keep one pot and it will flourish, let it bloom however you want!

After cutting the Kalanchoe once, it will bloom again in one month!

The Kalanchoe plants in many flower lovers’ homes have basically withered. At this time, just follow Hua Hua’s example and cut them once, and new buds will immediately sprout, and the pot will soon be full of life again!

How to prune the withered Kalanchoe?

1. If you find that the color of the Kalanchoe in your home starts to turn black, the flowers feel soft, and the flower stems start to droop, it basically needs to be pruned.

2. When pruning, use sterilized scissors and start cutting from the two pairs of leaves under the flower. As shown in the picture below, just trim from the position below 2.

3. After pruning the Kalanchoe, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. After about a week, move it to the south balcony to receive sufficient sunlight. During this period, water the plant only when you notice the surface of the soil in the pot turns white to avoid root rot.

4. If you want the Kalanchoe to sprout new branches as soon as possible, you must add nitrogen-containing fertilizers in time. You can bury 3-5 grains of compound fertilizers in the flowerpot, or you can use homemade decomposed soybean fertilizer, bean dregs fertilizer, etc., so that the Kalanchoe can grow more new branches and thus bloom more.

5. Don't throw away the pruned branches, because the branches after flowering are particularly rich in nutrients. If you use them for cuttings, the rooting rate will be very fast. It will take about 20 days for the cuttings to take root!

Cut the Christmas cactus flower once after it blooms, and it will bloom as many times as you want!

The Christmas cactus in some flower lovers’ homes only blooms once and then no longer, but the Christmas cactus in other people’s homes can bloom 3-4 times a year. What’s going on? Of course, it means that the pruning is done properly after the flowers bloom!

How to prune a withered Christmas cactus?

1. If you find that the flowers of your Christmas cactus have begun to wilt to varying degrees, then quickly take a pair of scissors and trim them. Otherwise, the flowers will remain on the leaves and consume unnecessary nutrients.

2. When using scissors to trim the dead flowers, you need to cut them at the middle node of the 2nd-3rd leaves under the dead flowers, that is, cut off the 2 leaves from the bottom of the dead flowers. If the leaves of the Christmas cactus are long enough, you can cut more. Basically, it is enough to leave only 6-8 leaves on each branch.

3. After pruning the dead flowers, the branches should be shortened and all old stems and dense nodes on the branches should be cut off. The new branches that grow after pruning will be greener and stronger, making the flowering more luxuriant!

4. After Christmas cactus blooms, it has a short dormant period because it consumes a lot of nutrients. At this time, we can take advantage of the dormant period to repot the Christmas cactus, cut off the old and weak roots, and then put enough base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, such as bean cake fertilizer, bone meal fertilizer, or self-fermented bean dregs fertilizer.

5. During the dormant period, control the watering of Christmas cactus and stop fertilizing. Wait until new buds emerge on the nodes, then apply thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month. When fertilizing, do not get the fertilizer on the nodes, so as to allow the abnormal stems to grow quickly. After the flower buds emerge, spray some 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, and the Christmas cactus will soon bloom again!

6. Don’t throw away the trimmed Christmas cactus leaves. Prepare nutrient soil with a mixture of peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 2:1, and use the Christmas cactus leaves for cuttings. They will take root in about 10-20 days!

Cut the camellia once after it blooms, and it will bloom as many times as you want!

Because of different varieties, the camellia in some flower lovers' homes are still in bloom, while the camellia in some other flower lovers' homes have basically withered and are about to enter the spring shoot growth period, so they have to be pruned quickly!

How to prune a withered camellia?

1. After the camellia at home blooms and fades, be sure to prune it in time to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption. After the camellia blooms, the flower stalks will be left on the branches. The post-flowering pruning we need to do is mainly to prune the two leaves at the top under the flower stalks.

2. Cut off the two leaves at the top of the flower stalk. If the leaves at the top are staggered, only trim one leaf. Because camellia has apical dominance in its growth, new shoots all grow out from the top. Therefore, pruning can promote the growth of side branches of camellia, resulting in more and more branches and thus more and more flowers.

3. After pruning the dead flowers, prune the branches back and cut off the old branches, weak branches, parallel branches, etc., so as to promote new branches and improve the vitality of camellia.

4. After pruning the withered flowers of camellia, before the spring shoots sprout, you can apply a nitrogen-based compound fertilizer or bean dregs fertilizer once to add enough nutrients for the camellia to sprout. After the new buds sprout, spray foliar fertilizer once more to make the spring buds sprout vigorously.

5. When the spring shoots of camellia grow to 10-20cm, you need to remove the buds, pick off the buds at the top, leave 3-4 leaves, and let the side branches grow out as soon as possible, so that the whole plant shape of the camellia will look better.

6. Don’t throw away the cut camellia branches. After a little trimming, you can directly plant them into the soil. In spring, when the temperature and humidity are high and sufficient, the camellia cuttings can take root in about 10 days!

Cut the cyclamen once after it blooms, and it will bloom again immediately!

The cyclamen in many flower lovers' homes died after blooming once during the Chinese New Year, and were then thrown directly into the trash can. In fact, after this cyclamen blooms, it is super easy to make it bloom again as long as you take good care of it!

How to prune a withered cyclamen?

1. After the cyclamen has finished blooming, be sure to cut off the remaining flowers in time. Generally, start pruning from the bottom of the flower root and cut off the entire flower stem.

2. In addition to the withered flowers, all the dead branches and leaves should also be removed. If you don’t want to use scissors, you can just pull them off directly.

3. The flowering of cyclamen consumes a lot of nutrients in the bulbs, so after pruning after flowering, nutrients must be replenished. You can bury 2-4 grains of compound fertilizer in the flowerpot, or you can water some homemade liquid fertilizer to allow the bulbs to accumulate nutrients.

4. In the hot summer, cyclamen will enter a dormant period and its leaves will continue to wither. At this time, stop watering and fertilizing, and place the flower pot in a cool and ventilated place indoors so that it can spend the summer safely.

5. When the temperature drops in autumn, the cyclamen bulbs will wake up from their dormant period, begin to sprout new buds and grow flower buds, thus successfully re-flowering. It’s just that the number of flowers of the re-flowering cyclamen will be slightly less than the first time.

Cut the rose once after it blooms, and it will bloom from spring to autumn!

Although the roses in many flower lovers' homes are still forming buds, one flower lover told Huahua that in the south where the temperature is high, many roses have almost finished blooming, which really makes Huahua envious and jealous!

How to prune a withered rose?

1. After the spring flowers of roses end, be sure to cut off the withered spring flowers in time to avoid nutrient consumption and allow the roses to have enough nutrients to bloom for the second time immediately.

2. When pruning, start from about 0.5 cm above the three leaves of the rose, tilt it 45 degrees, and prune it diagonally inwards to cut off the remaining flowers completely.

3. Blind branches and weak branches on the rose branches should also be cut off in time, and those buds and leaves growing inward and downward should also be cut off at the same time to promote ventilation and light inside the plant, enhance the disease resistance of the rose, and allow more nutrients to be provided to the flowering branches of the rose.

4. After the rose blooms, if you want it to sprout as soon as possible and bloom for the second time, you must add fertilizer in time. Fertilizers such as decomposed rice water and compound fertilizer can all be used for roses. Use them about once every 10 days. After the rose buds emerge, you can also water them with some fish water, which can make the roses bloom bigger and more!

5. Cut the pruned rose branches into small pieces of about 7-10 cm and directly insert them into the soil for cuttings, or place them in water for water cuttings. They will basically take root very quickly!
