How to prune bicolor jasmine

1. Pruning time

Pruning is usually done after the flowers have bloomed. Try to avoid pruning before the flowers have bloomed, as this may result in the plant not blooming. Appropriate pruning can also be done before winter. Branches and leaves that are infested by pests and diseases need to be cut off in time to reduce the chance of being infested by pathogens.

2. Pruning method

1. After flowering, the branches should be shortened to 1/3 or 1/2, which can help the plant grow side branches better and make the plant grow more compact. After the flowers fade, the dead branches should be cut off as soon as possible, which will not only affect the ventilation of the plant, but also seriously reduce its appearance.

2. After entering winter, heavy pruning is needed. Only 2-3 buds need to be retained on each branch, and the rest should be cut off. Weak branches, overgrown branches and overlapping branches on the plant also need to be pruned off as soon as possible, which will not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also allow the plant to grow better in the second year.

3. Notes

When pruning plants, be sure to use sterilized scissors to avoid the possibility of infection with bacteria. In addition, after pruning, you should spray some carbendazim to prevent the cut from rotting.
