When to prune hydrangeas after flowering

HydrangeasAfter flowering, it can be pruned in summer and autumn, and if thin branches and messy branches are found during its growth, it needs to be pruned as soon as possible to avoid depleting unnecessary nutrients in the pot.

It should be noted that pruning should not be done during the budding period, that is, around November, and the plants must not be pruned during this time.

The principle of hydrangea pruning is after flowering if the branches are too long. Cut off his branches, because if the branches are too long after flowering, his flowers are at the top, new branches.

It will also grow, and the flower bulbs will bloom large, and it is easy to bend and break the branches. Be sure to give him a short truncation.

Another is based on his form, if your whole body looks good. If you prune, you only need to cut off the first two segments below his residual flowers, his lateral budding ability is very strong, how many branches to keep, if the nutrients are sufficient, wait until the next spring, his aging branches will grow a lot of flower buds and bloom directly.

When pruning, the new branches that he grows in the spring do not have flowering branches, do not cut them off, this branch will bloom the next year after aging, if it is cut off, it is not conducive to its re-flowering, this branch will be wasted.

After the hydrangea blooms, cut off the residual flower bulbs, and then leave about 2 knots of the bent and deformed branches that have been pressed, so that the purpose of pruning is that the hydrangea can grow taller in the next year.

Generally, soil hydrangea pruning only needs to cut off the withered flowers; Hydrangea pruning is to cut the petals around it shorter and prune it longer than the one around it.

Hydrangeas can be exposed to the sun, but not to the sun. Hydrangea is a plant of the genus Hydrangea in the family Saxifrageae. The flower type is plump, beautiful and generous, and the color is gorgeous, and it is a common potted ornamental flower tree.

Hydrangeas can bloom in the cold winter, representing hope and giving people beauty. The flower language of hydrangea is loyalty, eternity, and is widely loved by everyone.

Hydrangeas are pruned in August after flowering. The pruning time for hydrangeas is chosen to take place in August after the flowers are gone. Pruning after the flowers have fallen can improve their ornamental value and also solve the problem of competition for nutrients between branches and leaves.

In addition, the cut branches can be used as cuttings, which can reflect the use value of the branches.

Pruning methodPruning hydrangeas mainly prunes their flowers. If the crown of the hydrangea grows perfectly, there are no overly dense branches, just prune the flowers. Focus on pruning aging branches and long branches to promote the development and growth of new branches, and each branch can retain 3 pairs of flower buds.

Disinfect toolsTools for pruning hydrangeas must be sterilized and sterilized. Because if you use a tool with germs, you will use the wounds of the pruned plants and get infected with the germs. Soak the scissors with carbendazim or potassium permanganate water before pruning and use them after soaking for 24 hours.

Tools are also required to disinfect one tree before pruning other trees.

After the hydrangeas bloom around August, they can be pruned after they wither, which can save nutrients for the hydrangeas. During pruning, it is necessary to cut off the old, residual and dead flowers of the hydrangea, as well as the dead branches and old branches of the hydrangea. If there are diseased branches on the hydrangea, cut it off and burn it, you need to spray the hydrangea for **.

Hydrangeas bloom between June and August, and the flowers begin to wither around August, and can be pruned after they have withered. Before pruning, the knives need to be disinfected with alcohol. During pruning, it is necessary to cut off the old flowers, residual flowers, dead flowers and yellow leaves of the hydrangeas.

When the flowers are cut off, the nutrients are not consumed in large quantities.

When pruning hydrangeas, weak, dead and old branches on the hydrangea also need to be pruned. After cutting off the dead branches and old branches, it can save nutrients for hydrangeas, which is conducive to the growth of new branches in the later stage. If there are diseased branches on the hydrangea, it is necessary to cut off the leaves of the diseased branches and insects in time and burn them to cut off the source of infection and avoid other plants from being infected.

After pruning the leaves of the diseased branches, the hydrangea can be sprayed with relevant chemicals**. During the use of the agent, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate amount of dilution with water to avoid excessive concentration, resulting in hydrangea damage. Spray the agent on the branches and leaves of hydrangeas and potting soil, and do not stop using it during the spraying period, otherwise it will reduce the efficacy of the drug.

After pruning the hydrangeas, an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution can be applied to the wound site of the hydrangeas. Carbendazim solution is a low-toxicity and high-efficiency fungicidal agent, which can prevent hydrangea from being infected with bacteria and is also conducive to wound healing. After the hydrangea is applied, it can be placed in a warm and ventilated place indoors for maintenance, and an appropriate amount of watering is required during the curing period.

Pruning method after hydrangea blooms:

1. Cut off the residual flowers.

After the hydrangea blooms, cut off the residual flower bulbs and leave about 2 knots on the bent and deformed branches that have been pressed. The purpose of this pruning is that the hydrangea can grow taller the following year.

2. Spring pruning.

Pruning can be done after the end of the spring flowering period by cutting off the withered flowers and pruning above the buds.

3. Autumn pruning.

Prune in autumn until the flowering period is over, and do not cut too long when pruning the residual flowers, try to cut them shorter.

4. Prune by type.

Soil hydrangea pruning is done by cutting off the withered flowers. Hydrangea pruning first cut the surrounding petals a little shorter, and the middle pruning is longer than the periphery, so that the ball will form faster.

5. Prune by region.

Temperatures are lower in the north, so pruning is generally done after flowering. The temperature in the south is warmer, and buds are easy to appear in early spring, and residual flowers appear early, so it is necessary to prune according to the state of the hydrangea to ensure that there is enough space for the second flowering and does not affect the appearance.

6. Control the plant type.

Hydrangea is recommended to be pruned to a short and strong plant type, and do not let the branches grow too tall, which is prone to lodging and leaf bud upward movement.

In order for this plant to grow taller and look better, pruning after flowering is important. First of all, the flower bulbs that have already bloomed are removed, and then the branches that have been bent or even deformed are left with about 2 knots. After this pruning, the plant will grow taller the next year.

There are two stages of flowering for this plant, one is spring and one is autumn, so pruning according to the season is also divided into these two stages.

1.Prune after spring flowering. Pruning cannot be done in the spring, so pruning should not begin until the spring flowering period of this plant is over. This pruning is relatively simple, just cut off the flowers that have already withered, but be careful to cut the top of the buds.

2.Prune after autumn flowers. This pruning also has to wait until the end of the flowering period to start pruning. There are requirements for this pruning, that is, when pruning the residual flowers, you should pay attention not to cut too long, and try to cut short.

1.Different kinds of pruning differ. This plant can be basically divided into two categories: soil and hydrangea.

The former pruning is relatively simple, that is, the withered flowers can be cut off. In order to help the plants form balls more quickly, the latter requires pruning of the plants. The first thing is to cut it a little shorter around the perimeter, but in the middle you can trim it longer than the periphery, so that the ball will form faster.

2.Pruning varies from region to region. In the north, due to the relatively low temperature, it is enough to prune according to the conventional pruning method - after the flowering period.

However, in the south, because the weather is not particularly cold, it is easy to have flower buds and then residual flowers in early spring, so at this time it is necessary to prune according to the condition of the plant to ensure that the flowering plants behind have space and do not affect their beauty.

The pruning of residual flowers is an important part of hydrangea pruning. Timely pruning of residual flowers will help the plant to look aesthetically pleasing, and it will also help to supply more nutrients to the healthy growth of the plant. Generally speaking, we cut the flowering branches from top to bottom where there are full bud points and give it a diagonal cut, and then where there are bud points, it is easy to germinate some new branches.
