How to prune Vinca rosea

How to prune Vinca rosea

1. Pruning before flowering

Pruning is required during the period from seedlings to before flowering, mainly by pinching the tips. When it grows 4 to 5 leaves, pinch off the top buds. After that, a side branch will emerge from each leaf axil. When the side branch grows 4 to 5 leaves, pinch it off again. After 4 to 5 times of pinching, a round or oval structure will be formed, and the plant shape will be plump, giving a feeling of bursting out of the pot.

2. Pruning after flowering

Catharanthus roseus has a large number of flowers. It blooms from the terminal buds, dies after flowering and will never bloom again. Therefore, it is necessary to prune the places where flowers have bloomed in time, so that they can bloom again from the nearby branches after pruning.
