How to prune gardenias, gardenia pruning methods

1. Pinching and topping

When gardenia first starts to grow, because it grows well, it may grow to a relatively high height, so it needs to be pinched and topped. According to the growth height, choose the appropriate position to cut it. This can inhibit the growth height and promote the growth of side branches, which is beneficial for the fullness of the plant.

2. Shortening branches

Around June, the temperature rises and the plant grows vigorously. Some leggy branches appear and need to be properly pruned. If the branches are very long, half of them can be cut off. If the branches are slightly shorter, they can be shortened slightly. After that, as the tree grows, the branches will continue to grow. When the branches are very long again, they should be pruned appropriately.

3. Thinning branches

If the branches on the plant grow too densely, they need to be properly thinned out. Cutting off some weak branches and dead branches first can also increase the aesthetics. For very dense branches, proper thinning and removing some of them can not only reduce nutrient consumption after pruning, but also increase light transmittance.

4. Prune the remaining flowers

After the flowering period, the flowers begin to gradually turn yellow. At this time, prune them and remove the yellow flowers. In addition to the withered flowers, you also need to prune the branches appropriately, which can also make the remaining flowers more vigorous.
