Potted gardenia tree stems are too high, should they be cut off?

The trunk of a potted gardenia is too tall to be cut off, but there are a few things to pay attention to:

Pruning method: It is generally recommended to prune the old, sick, weak branches and overly dense crossed branches first, and then selectively shorten the entire crown or part of the branches as needed to achieve the purpose of balancing the overall shape and promoting the growth of side branches. For potted gardenias with excessively tall stems, the whole tree can look shorter and more compact by subtracting half or more of the trunk height.

Precautions: Use sharp scissors when pruning to avoid damaging the bark and surrounding healthy branches; It is also important to take care of disinfection and maintaining proper humidity and ventilation to prevent infection with germs or other problems.

Potted gardenia stems are too high to be pruned. Here's how to trim it:

In the spring, you can choose to cut off those branches that are too long and those that are too white to look at, which will not only avoid the height of the plant, but also make it more ornamental.

From May to July, when the vigorous growth of gardenias is about to stop, it is necessary to prune again to remove the tip of the top, which will promote the germination of the surrounding branches, and the plant can appear less tall and bloom more later.

After the flowers wither, the branches should be appropriately shortened to promote the germination of new branches. When the new branch grows three knots, it is necessary to pick the heart.

Overlapping branches can also be cut at the right time.

After pruning, the gardenia will pull new branches from the wound and will soon grow new leaves. In addition to this, regular pruning is also very important for the growth of gardenias.

Potted gardenia stems can be cut off if they are too high, but be careful not to cut too much, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant. In the spring, do not prune the side branches, otherwise they will not bloom, and in May-July, cut off 2-3 pairs of leaves at the end of the branch together with the residual flowers after flowering. Promote the germination of new side branches, when the new branches grow 3 nodes after the removal treatment, at the same time, in order to control the height, you can prune off the top of the long branches, promote the growth of side branches, increase the amount of flowering.

Rapid growth may be caused by growth or uneven fertilization, both of which are generally caused by excess nitrogen fertilizer. At this time, we not only need to prune it as necessary, but also add other nutrients.

Therefore, once the nutrients are unbalanced, we need to increase the use of other nutrients and reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Generally, we add some pica phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote its growth and enhance the plant's resistance to pests and diseases. The method of pruning gardenias that grow too tall is also carried out in the same way as above.

Seed flower branches grow wildly and must be pruned in time.

A large pruning is done in the spring to cut off weak, dead and overlapping branches. During the growth period, the top tips should be pruned, and when the new branches grow 3 nodes, topping treatment is required.

Causes and solutions for gardenias to grow too tall

Give the gardenias a big prune in the spring. Cut off the branches that are too long, the long branches, and the messy branches. Around the time of May and July, gardenias enter the second half of their vigorous growth period.

At this point we need to trim it again. We'll take off the tip.

After the gardenia flowers are gone, prune the branches where the flowers grow properly to reduce the excessive absorption of nutrients by the residual flowers. Encourage more new shoots to grow. At this time, if a new shoot grows about three knots, we have to toppe it. Still.

Gardenias grow too fast can be caused by overgrowth or uneven fertilization, both of which are generally caused by excess nitrogen. If the nutrients are not balanced, we need to increase the use of other nutrients, so as to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Generally we add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Pruning method: When pruning gardenias, the main thing is to thin weak branches, diseased branches, long branches, dead branches and overlapping branches, and control the number of flower buds and terminal buds on the branches.

1. Pruning time

Gardenia pruning is generally divided into two periods, from May to July and December each year. Among them, May to July is the growth period of gardenias, at this time pruning is mainly to thin out the excess branches and leaves and branches and leaves that do not grow well, and December is the dormant period of gardenias, at this time pruning is mainly to thin out dead branches, diseased branches, overlapping branches, weak branches and residual flowers.

Second, the pruning method

1. Weak branch pruning: When the gardenia plant grows too luxuriantly, the weak branches and branches that are not in good direction and not conducive to development are thinned, and the overly dense top buds are removed at the same time, and 2-3 buds are generally retained on each branch.

2. Pruning of long branches: During the vigorous growth period of gardenia (May-July), the height can be controlled by pruning the top long branches, which can promote the growth of side branches, so as to increase the number of flowers.

3. Topping: If it is a large-flowered gardenia seedling, hit the top at 20cm of the main stem, keep 3-4 branches, and then wait until the branches grow 2 pairs of leaves, and then hit the top to promote branching, and then let it grow. If it is a small gardenia seedling, it generally does not need to be topped.

4. Yellow leaf pruning: When the plant has yellow leaves and dead leaves, it should be thinned in time.

5. Bud pruning: If it is a thick branch, generally keep 2-3 buds per branch. If it is a weak branch, generally keep 1 bud per branch or no bud, and all of them are thinned.

3. Pruning precautions

1. After the gardenia is pruned, disinfect the wound in time (spray chlorothalonil solution) to avoid wound infection.

2. After pruning, gardenias are generally watered with water after drying treatment, and at the same time, try to avoid wounds during the watering process.

3. Gardenias should not be shortened at the top of the branch in spring, otherwise it will lead to no flowering that year.

Ways to prune gardenias correctly:

1. Prune the plant once a year in spring, cut off overly long branches, weak branches and other disorderly branches that affect the plant shape to maintain the grace of the plant shape and promote new branches to make it bloom more.

2. In May and July every year, when the gardenia growth period will stop, prune the plant to remove the top tip and promote the germination of branches, so that the plant shape is beautiful and flowering more in the future.

3. Timely pruning, gardenia has strong germination power, easy to overlap branches, dense and unventilated, and nutrients are dispersed. When the shape is positive, three main branches should be selected according to the shape of the tree, and other branches that have erupted from the root tiller should be pruned at any time. After flowering, the branches should be truncated in time to promote the germination of new branches under the cutting.

When the new shoots have grown three knots, the topping is carried out to avoid blind growth.

Retraction, stubbing, topping.

Gardenias can be planted by cuttings, and you can cut off excess branches and plant them elsewhere.

At the beginning of March, the branches and flowers were cut off from the old leaves, and only the strong branches were left to survive?

Potted gardenias.

Coming pruning: there are buds but not.

Before opening bai pruning, put the light tree without buds

Gardenias are easy to flourish, if you want to keep the gardenia plant beautiful, the gardenia pruning method is very important, but many flower friends dare not easily prune gardenias, for fear of pruning mistakes, let's take a look at how to prune gardenias.

Gardenia pruning general description:

Gardenia pruning can be carried out in two stages, one in May and the other around December. Each pruning only needs to prune off 2 3 pairs of leaves at the end of the branch, and at the same time remove the residual flowers together. Conditional flower friends can spray chlorothalonil with 1000 times liquid once after pruning to prevent germs from invading the wound.

Pruning of gardenias in different cases:

1. Prune gardenia branches, May to July is the vigorous growth period of gardenias, at this time, pruning the top branches can control the height, promote the growth of side branches, and increase the amount of flowering.

2. Prune weak branches and branches with bad direction, when gardenia branches and leaves are too lush, we need to cut off weak branches and branches with bad direction and not conducive to development. Remove the overly dense top buds, generally leaving 2-3 buds on one branch.

3. Cut off the flower buds, generally leave 2-3 flower buds on each thick branch, and leave 1 flower bud on the weak branch, or cut them off.

Gardenia pruning starts from 3 places: 1. Prune long branches; 2. Prune the buds (sparse buds) in time; 3. Prune the residual flowers in time. Spray chlorothalonil after each pruning to prevent germs from entering the shear.

It likes warm, moist, and good sunlight, but it should avoid strong direct sunlight, likes high air temperature and good ventilation, and requires loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil, which is a typical acidic soil plant. It is not cold-tolerant, semi-shade-resistant, afraid of stagnant water, and can only be used as greenhouse potted flowers in the Northeast, North China and Northwest.

Prune once after flowering.

1. When it grows relatively fast, there will be weak branches and messy branches on the plant, and the branches that affect the appearance and growth should be pruned off in time. If the terminal bud grows too densely, it should also be pruned, usually leaving 2-3 buds on each branch.

2. In the process of maintenance, it is inevitable that yellow leaves and diseased branches will appear, and they should be cut off immediately once they are seen, so as not to infect more healthy branches and leaves. After flowering, cut off the failed flowers in time to prevent the consumption of nutrients in the soil, and properly prune the dry branches and dead leaves on the plants.

3. When the plant is in the dormant period, the annual branches can be pruned, and the drooping and overlapping branches can also be pruned. This balances the plant and makes it grow more beautifully.

During the growth of the plant, cut off the branches that grow too long in time, and the length of the pruning is not fixed, which I personally think is beautiful. After cutting off the long branches, it helps the side branches to grow better, which can prevent it from growing too tall and making the flowering more abundant.

Gardenia dwarf dense planting method:

Gardenia dwarfing mainly depends on pruning, more searching, cultivating, pruning tall branches to increase branches. Then get more sun, and make sure you get six hours of light.

Gardenia seedlings at a height of 20 cm in the main stem to hit the tip, leave 3 to 4 branches, branch 2 pairs of leaves and then hit the tip, promote branching, and then let it grow. Gardenias do not need to be topped later. After flowering every year, prune lightly, cut off the inner branches, diseased branches, and individual long branches are truncated.

When the crown width of gardenia is too large after 4 to 5 years, strong pruning can be carried out after flowering, generally leaving 2 pairs of leaf stubs on the upper branches, and erasing the ingrown buds and the buds of the lower part of the main stem after budding, and the plant shape will become more compact and beautiful. Remember that gardenias should not be shortened in spring, otherwise they will not bloom that year.
