Can the leaves of freesia be cut?

1. Can I cut it?

Of course, the leaves of freesia can be trimmed. Improper maintenance methods may cause the leaves to grow too long. In this case, the leaves need to be trimmed. If not, it will not only consume nutrients and affect flowering, but may also cause the plant to fall over. There are also many times when the leaves need to be trimmed. There is no time limit and pruning can be done in all four seasons, but it is best to choose winter and spring. In winter, the vitality is weaker and pruning will not cause damage to the plants. Spring is about to enter a period of budding growth, which has a positive effect on later recovery.

2. Pruning method

1. Cut off dead branches: After the flowering period is over, it is necessary to cut leaves. First, remove the withered flowers. As the autumn gradually turns cooler, the stems at the top of the bulbs will slowly wither. At this time, cut this part off, store the bulbs properly, and then replant them.

2. Topping and pinching: The growth rate is very fast in spring, and many branches will sprout out, becoming very messy. The main trunk in the middle grows excessively, and nutrients mainly attack the main trunk, resulting in a small number of other side branches. Topping and pinching are necessary in time.
