How to deal with baby's breath after it blooms? Can it be cut off if it withers?

1. Post-flowering treatment methods

1. Pruning: Baby's breath needs to be pruned in time after it finishes blooming. The dead branches after flowering need to be cut off because such branches are no longer useful. If they are kept, they will only consume nutrients, so they need to be cut off. In addition, branches that grow densely should be thinned out appropriately. Pruning can not only reduce the burden on the plant, but also avoid excessive consumption of nutrients.

2. Fertilization: Fertilize in time after flowering. You can apply fermented chicken manure fertilizer or decomposed cake fertilizer. The purpose of doing this is to accumulate nutrients, which will help it bloom next time.

3. Watering: After the flowers bloom, you should also water them. The soil should be kept moist and some water should be sprayed on the leaves. However, water should not be allowed to accumulate in the soil, as this may cause root rot. In addition, good ventilation must be ensured to avoid the breeding environment being too stuffy and closed.

2. Can I cut it off if it withers?

When you find that the baby's breath plant is withering, you can cut it off according to the situation. Since the dried branches and leaves are no longer useful, they can be pruned off. However, if the dry area is relatively large, you must be cautious. If you cut it off completely, it will not only reduce the aesthetics, but may also affect its growth. If the area is small, just cut off the dead parts.
