Bougainvillea pruning

Bougainvillea pruning

1. Pruning method

1. Shortening method: This method is to shorten the newly grown branches of the plant, usually cutting off one-third to one-half of the branches. This method is beneficial to stimulate the growth of branch buds and help the new branches of the plant grow more luxuriantly.

2. Dredging method: Pruning is usually done after the flowers have fallen. Generally, the densely growing branches of the plant are cleared away. This can slow down the development time of the branches above the plant and promote the emergence and growth of the branches below.

3. Shortening method: This method is to shorten the perennial old branches, which can promote the resumption of growth of the old branches and weaken the growth rate of the main branches. This method of pruning needs to be performed multiple times to achieve good results.

2. Pruning time

The best time to prune it is after the flowers have bloomed, and it is best to do so based on the specific conditions of the plant. Usually, all the branches that are too dense, dead, or overgrown will be pruned away, leaving only a few main buds.

3. Notes

1. Be willing to prune the branches. Don't be reluctant to do so just because the branches look beautiful.

2. Before the plant blooms, appropriate topping and pinching can be carried out, which can help the plant bloom more easily.

3. The scissors used for pruning must be very sharp and the cut must be smooth. This type of pruning can greatly reduce damage to the plants.
