How to prune rose begonias and when to prune them

1. Pruning time

You can prune rose begonias at any time as long as it is not during the bud formation and flowering period. Because pruning during these two time periods will have a certain impact on flower bud differentiation. It is best to do it before summer. Summer and autumn are critical periods for plant growth, and pruning is likely to hinder its flowering.

2. Pruning method

1. During the growth stage of the rose begonia, it is necessary to pinch it in time, which is conducive to the growth of the plant's side branches and can make the plant look fuller. After pruning, it is best to apply some fungicide to avoid rot.

2. During the maintenance period, if you find withered, diseased, weak branches, densely growing or overly long branches on the plant, you should trim them off immediately. If you don't trim it, it will not only hinder the growth of the plant, but also consume more nutrients in the potting soil.

3. During the budding period, excess buds should be properly trimmed, otherwise the quality of the flowers will deteriorate. Timely pruning of flower buds can also reduce nutrient loss and will not hinder the growth and development of other flower buds.
