How to prune plumeria

1. Pruning and height control

Frangipani grows very quickly. If it is not pruned for a period of time, the main branches will grow very tall, but no side branches will appear. Nutrients are mainly supplied to the main branches, which will also affect the growth of side branches. You can do appropriate pruning. When it grows to about 20-30 cm, cut off the top. This can control the growth height of the plant, facilitate the growth of side branches, and make the plant fuller. After pruning, be careful not to let the cut part get wet to avoid infection by bacteria.

2. Prune the roots

Root pruning is mainly carried out in conjunction with repotting. You can take the plant out of the pot, and then use sterilized scissors to remove rotten roots and old roots, and also trim roots that are too long and too dense, leaving fibrous roots. If there is root rot, it is necessary to disinfect and sterilize after pruning before planting.

3. Pruning after flowering

Its flowering period is from May to October. After the flowering period is over, it also needs to be pruned and the remaining flowers should be cut off in time to prevent them from remaining on the branches and consuming nutrients, and also to prevent them from rotting on the branches. In addition to removing dead flowers, the flower branches should also be properly pruned and thinned out.
