How to prune freesia

1. Prune long branches

For it, if the plant grows too tall, it will not only consume a lot of nutrients, but also affect its appearance. There is no limit on pruning time, and it can be done in all four seasons of the year. Cutting off part of the overly long branches on the plant can effectively promote the formation of side buds and play a role in promoting the lushness of the plant.

2. Timely pinching

During the vigorous growth period of the plant, the branches will grow in a disorderly manner, various branches will begin to grow wildly, and the main trunk will grow very high. At this time, it is necessary to top it, remove the top growth point, inhibit the growth of the main trunk, and allow the branches next to it to grow. When the branches that appear later become longer, they also need to be processed.

3. Cut off dead branches

During the growth process, due to the influence of normal metabolism, some dead branches and yellow branches will appear. These must be cut off immediately after they appear. There is no specific time, and do not leave them on to infect other branches and leaves.

4. Pruning after flowering

Its flowering period is from February to May and lasts for about 15 days. When the flowers fade and wither, in addition to removing the remaining flowers, the withered stems should also be cut off and the bulbs should be taken out and stored.
