How to prune tuberose in spring

1. Pruning method

1. Pinching: Pinching can be done in spring, which means cutting off the top of the branch. This is what we call pinching. The purpose of doing this is to promote the growth of new shoots, and on the other hand it is also to reduce the consumption of nutrients in the soil.

2. Diseased branches: If the plant is attacked by pests and diseases, the diseased branches should be cut off as soon as possible to avoid infecting more branches. In addition, if the growth of the tuberose is not very good and there are weak or dead branches on the plant, you can also trim it appropriately.

2. Pruning at other times

In addition to pruning in spring, proper pruning is also required after the flowers have finished blooming, mainly to cut off those branches that have grown too long and too dense. This will make the plant shape better looking and the plant more breathable. Generally, it is sufficient to cut the overgrown branches short, and some branches that have already bloomed should also be pruned away to avoid the loss of nutrients.

3. Notes

When pruning in spring, be sure not to prune too severely. Simply pinch off the tips and remove branches and leaves that are not growing well. After pruning, do not let the cut site come into contact with water. It should be kept relatively dry to avoid cut rot.
