How to prune gardenia to grow more flowers

1. Cutting off long branches

From May to July each year, it is the most vigorous growth period of gardenia. The growth rate is very fast at this time, and many branches begin to grow in a disorderly manner. At this time, you can prune it. Cut off a section of the top of the plant, cut off part of the overly long branches, and shorten the leaves. This can reduce nutrient consumption, promote the sprouting of new branches, accumulate nutrients, and increase the number of flowers.

2. Cut off the dense branches

Its branches and buds grow very fast and have strong germination ability. As long as the growth environment is suitable, it will grow a large number of leaves over a period of time, which will consume a lot of nutrients, causing the number of flowers to decrease and the flowers that bloom will grow poorly. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to pruning, remove some of the overly dense branches and buds, reduce excessive consumption of nutrients, and ensure that there are 2-3 branches on it.

3. Prune weak buds

When the flower buds are growing, many bad buds will emerge. It is necessary to cut off the poorly developed buds to ensure that 2-3 healthy buds remain on the branches. This will enable the remaining strong flower buds to grow better, encourage new flower buds to grow, and increase the number of flowers.
