How to trim blue snow flower

The significance of pruning

The reason we prune, of course, is that it is good for the plants. For this plant, proper pruning can make its shape more compact, and it can also extend the flowering period and increase the number of flowers. How about it, not bad, right?

The right time to prune

Generally speaking, the best time to choose is at the end of autumn. That's because, as the temperature gradually drops, the growth and development of plants will gradually slow down. On the contrary, the unsuitable time for pruning is at the beginning of late spring, when the plants are just sprouting branches and buds. How can it be suitable for pruning?

Specific methods of pruning

We have to remember one thing, this plant is not afraid of pruning, so we just need to prune it boldly.

After the plant has bloomed, we need to cut off the withered flowers. This way, the plant will be able to produce new flowers right away. It won’t take too long, usually only twenty days to a month. Isn’t it amazing?

You also need to cut off some old branches. Generally speaking, branches that are more than two years old should not be kept. In addition, all black branches should be cut off. Those newly sprouted, strong green branches are what we should keep.

Another thing is the pruning of leaves. For example, if there are seven leaves on a branch, we can keep only three or two. Then, the branches will become stronger, and more side branches and small leaves will grow, especially during continuous rainy weather. However, once the plant starts to produce flower buds, you can cut it less frequently.
