How to prune potted chrysanthemums

1. Pruning during the growing season

When the ping pong chrysanthemum seedlings are young, try not to prune them if possible. Mature plants can be pruned appropriately to achieve aesthetic results. Usually the height is controlled by pinching, which means just cutting off the top branches will encourage the plant to sprout more new branches. In addition, once rotten leaves, yellow leaves and dead branches are found on the plants, they should be cut off in time to reduce water consumption.

2. Pruning after flowering

After the flowering period, there will be residual flowers on the plant, which should be cut off with scissors as soon as possible, and the old branches can be cut off together when pruning. When pruning the dead flowers of the plant, you can also cut off some of the flower stalks, but don't cut too much, about 5-10cm will be enough. This can effectively reduce its height.

3. Notes

Whenever you do it, don't prune too much, as it is not tolerant of pruning. Also, the cuts must be properly handled after pruning, otherwise infection may occur and inhibit the growth of the plant.
