As the weather gets colder, people who grow flowers must prepare in advance, so that the plants can grow better and will no longer become decadent and die due to fear of the cold!
For example, if you want them to grow better next year, or even bloom more,
Then must make up your mind to prune branches and leaves on a large scale before winter this year.
①Azalea
Some varieties of azalea will continue to bloom in late autumn.
It will not continue to grow leaves in winter, but these leaves will continue to increase plant metabolic consumption due to the decrease in light and temperature.
So before winter begins, we should try to trim some of the branches and leaves, especially semi-lignified branches and leaves with particularly high density,
to prune it early to reduce the unnecessary metabolic consumption of the plant early,
Let the main trunk free up more nutrients to lay a solid foundation for nurturing buds in the coming year.
② Geranium
This plant will enter a dormant state in a relatively low temperature environment.
is usually in most parts of our country and will hibernate immediately as soon as winter enters, so you must severely trim the plants before winter begins.
trim all the yellowed and sick branches and leaves, and at the same time, trim all the branches that have bloomed that year, and only the bud points are left are enough.
Remember, It is enough to leave 2/3 of the remaining weak branches, try to cut off most of the leaves!
Of course, if there are no special requirements for the appearance, you can also trim all the side branches and leave only the strong trunks, so that the flowers and leaves will grow stronger and more vigorously in the spring of the year!
③Copper Cotton Grass
This plant is very afraid of the cold. When the temperature is low in winter, the branches and leaves will turn yellow and die on a large area.
In order to avoid this kind of situation, we usually shave a small flat head for it before winter, trim all the branches and leaves, and leave roots with very strong cold resistance!
Generally, when the temperature is not lower than 10℃, you have to prune branches and leaves on a large area, otherwise it will be too late to delay!
In addition, if there are no conditions, to ensure that the environment is stable above 15℃, the "water and food cut off" plan should be adopted for raising coin grass in winter!
If the soil is not dry, don’t water it! Until the spring of next year, we will strengthen the maintenance of water and fertilizer!
And if the ambient temperature is conditionally stable, then there is no need to prune at this time!
Move to the room before the ambient temperature has fallen to 15℃ and avoid the air outlet when ventilating!
④Blossomia
This plant grows very fast! As long as the ambient temperature is controlled above 10 degrees Celsius, it can grow continuously, and even the length of the branches can grow to one or two meters long.
However, this plant is a very typical southern plant, which is particularly afraid of cold. In winter, if there is no greenhouse adjustment, you need to appropriately prune the long and hard branches before winter begins.
On the one hand, it is to facilitate moving into the room,
On the other hand, it is to minimize the metabolic consumption of the plants and give the bougainvillea potted plants a higher chance of getting through the cold winter safely!
Remember to try to shorten all branches and keep a better plant shape!
And in winter, whether it is breeding indoors or outdoors, it is necessary to provide it with a good ventilation environment!
can achieve the goal by pruning away parallel and cross branches with higher density, and
can also achieve the goal by opening windows and breathable!
⑤ Jasmine
This kind of plant has very high requirements for the environment. Usually, only if it is kept above 10℃ for a long time, the branches and leaves will not turn yellow and enter a dormant state!
So if there is no conditions and ensure that the ambient temperature of its existence is always higher than 10℃ in winter, then even if it is moved indoors for maintenance, it is necessary to prune its branches and leaves while it has not yet entered winter.
Generally, just prune two or three pairs of leaves on the top of the branches!
Of course, you can also appropriately repair short branches according to your preferences! Further improve the plant shape!
Remember, in addition to pruning branches and leaves, We should also let the jasmine flowers in the dormant state in autumn and winter as much as possible bask in the sun. use photosynthesis to synthesize more nutrients, stockpile them in the main trunk and strong side branches, and prepare for more and more beautiful flowers to bloom in the next year.
Review:
Before winter has begun, cut them into pieces and prune them as early as possible, and even trim all the branches and leaves that are naked outside in batches.
only leaves a strong backbone.
This can also be regarded as a care for plants.
