Potted gardenias need to be pruned again after they have failed to bloom, how should they be pruned?

You have to prune off the dead flowers, leave good leaves, and remove the dead branches.

Gardenias are generally pruned once in May and July before flowering, and once in December in winter. The method of operation is to cut off several pairs of leaves at the end of each branch, and the residual flowers should be cleaned up in time. Pruning before the flowering period is mainly to reduce the excess branches, diseased branches, and weak branches to prevent nutrient waste and promote flowering.

The second time is to enter the dormant period, in order to ensure the smooth wintering of the plant, the residual branches can be reduced.

Gardenias are pruned carefully during the flowering period, and once pruned incorrectly, they can only bloom once. These two side buds will grow flower buds in the future, so the gardenia can not be greatly modified by wilting, only the residual flowers and calyx are removed, and the two side buds must not be cut. Because these two side buds will soon grow buds and flowers.

During the flowering stage, water and fertilizer must keep up. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used every 10 days. In addition to flowering, they also grow leaves, so it is better to apply a three-element compound fertilizer to them once a month, in addition, gardenias prefer acidic soils, and use ammonium sulfate once a month.

There is a trick to pruning gardenias, and I learned to prune, saving ten years of effort.

Gardenia "don't cut the wrong one after flowering, cut the right pair to grow and bloom more, cut the wrong one and not bloom."

1.Gardenias should be pruned, and reasonable pruning can promote its vigorous growth, which is also beneficial to flowering, and the shape of the plant will become fuller.

2.If not pruned for a long time, the branches and leaves are easy to grow, which will affect flowering.

3.Generally, in the germination stage of new shoots, it is necessary to top and pluck the topping in time to control the height.

4.In the peak growing season, it is necessary to prune dense branches, thin branches, diseased and insect branches, long branches, etc., to promote more concentrated nutrients.

5.After flowering, prune the residual flowers in time, and the old pants promote the gardenia to resume growth as soon as possible.

When pruning, be sure to prune along the branches and leaves, how to come, pay attention to beauty, do not destroy the original shape and form when pruning, if you really can't, you can ask your friends, you can also ask some gardeners or check it yourself.

You should prune off some of the branches and leaves of the gardenia that are not growing well, prune off some of the yellow leaves at the bottom, and prune off the branches and leaves that have bloomed before. Don't prune indiscriminately, you should trim according to the texture of the gardenia.

Scientific pruning should be carried out, and attention should be paid to the scope of pruning, and the shape of pruning should also be paid attention to, and pruning should also be carried out according to the growth trend, and attention must be paid when pruning, so as not to harm other leaves.
