How to prune golden chrysanthemum

Pruning during the growth period

In order to control its height during its growing period, you can do appropriate pruning, pinching or topping. This will allow it to grow more side branches, making the plant more compact, dense and beautiful overall.

After the pruning flowers fade

When the flowers are about to wither completely, you can directly cut off the flower buds and apply appropriate fertilizers. This can encourage other flowers to bloom, increase the number of flowers, and prolong the flowering period.

Pruning of sick and weak branches

Dry branches and leaves or those eroded by pests and diseases can be pruned at any time to concentrate nutrients and allow other healthy branches and leaves to grow better. At the same time, this pruning can also be used to adjust the overly dense plant shape to increase light transmittance and air permeability. In autumn and winter, you can trim off all the weak branches and leaves, and re-cultivate them to grow stronger branches and leaves.

Precautions

When pruning plants, try to cut all at once and make the cuts smooth.

The pruning position should be as high as possible. If it is too low, it will affect the germination of the plant. If there are obvious nodes, just cut above the nodes.

Some friends never dare to prune their plants during the breeding process. In fact, this is a wrong practice. Appropriate pruning is also for the purpose of allowing them to grow better, avoiding nutrient loss, and concentrating the supply on healthier branches and stems. Although daily maintenance can ensure its healthy growth, if you want to get a plant with a beautiful shape, you must rely on pruning, so friends, just do it boldly.
