1. Before pruning, you need to prepare a sharper knife, and you must act quickly to make the wound on the plant as smooth as possible. This will reduce damage to the plants and help them recover from wounds.

2. After the plant has finished blooming, the first thing you need to do is cut off the flowers that have already withered. You only need to cut off the remaining flowers, rather than cutting off the entire flowering branches.

3. After pruning the withered flowers, you need to clean up the messy and miscellaneous branches that take up too much nutrients, such as diseased and dead branches, withered branches, and branches that are too long. This will make the plant look cleaner and more transparent.
