In December in winter, it should be pruned again. The pruning time is different and the pruning method is also different.

2. Pruning method

1. Prune around May, mainly to remove the withered flowers. 4-5 buds can be retained during pruning. If the growth is not very strong, then only 1-2 buds need to be kept.

2. In June and July, only light pruning is required. You can cut it from the second leaf under the withered flower, and the pruning should not be too large. In addition, some overgrown branches also need to be cut off.

3. The third pruning is to make the plant grow more balanced. Keep 2-3 buds on the branches, and cut off the cross-growing and too dense branches to make the plant more breathable and beautiful.

4. When the plant is in dormancy, it should be heavily pruned and branches that are weak, dry, or damaged by pests and diseases should be cut off.
