How to prune freesia

1. Pinching and topping

Freesia grows tall easily. However, since its stems are relatively soft, they can easily fall over after growing taller, so the height must be controlled by pinching. Generally, when it grows to about 10 cm, the top bud should be removed. This will inhibit growth and send out side branches, making it look more lush.

2. Dwarfing Pruning

In an environment with sufficient nutrients, freesia is more likely to grow too tall, so it is necessary to trim it. Cut off all the stems and leaves that are higher than the flowers, usually about 5-8 cm. This not only prevents it from falling over, but also reduces nutrient consumption.

3. Pruning during the growing season

During the growing season of freesia, the plant can easily grow taller. Proper pruning can control its plant shape and it can also recover quickly. Reducing branches and leaves allows it to store certain nutrients, which will be more helpful for future flowering.

4. Daily pruning

In daily maintenance, if freesia is not managed properly, it is easy to cause dead branches and yellow leaves. Poorly growing or diseased branches and leaves should be pruned off in time to prevent the situation from worsening and help it resume growth.
