Kalancho is a perennial herbaceous plant that has green stems and leaves, and flowers that are generally red, yellow, or white. The flowering period of kalancho flowers is generally from spring to autumn and blooms every year, but the length of the flowering period and the quantity and quality of flowers are affected by pruning.
The main functions of pruning are as follows:
Promote the branching of plants, increase the number of flower buds, and increase the probability of flowering.
Removes pests, diseases or old foliage to prevent the nutrient depletion of the plant and maintain the health and vitality of the plant.
Adjust the morphology of the plant to make it more beautiful and balanced, and avoid being too dense or cluttered.
Promote the renewal of plants, prolong the life of plants, and make them live longer.
The pruning of longevity flowers is generally divided into two types, one is plastic pruning and the other is pruning pruning. Plastic pruning is carried out during the dormant period of the plant, usually in winter or early spring, in order to adjust the shape and size of the plant to make it more suitable for the pot or garden space. Pruning is carried out during the growing period of the plant, usually in spring, summer or autumn, in order to remove excess foliage and promote branching and flowering of the plant.
Here's how to prune:
Choose a pair of sharp scissors and sterilize them for later use.
Observe the growth of the plant and determine the part to be cut, generally cutting off the branches that are too long, or the branches that are too dense, or the branches that are not growing in the direction of the same direction.
Cut from top to bottom along the growth direction of the shoot, with a flat cut to avoid tearing or damaging the plant.
The cut branches should be cleaned in time to avoid the invasion of germs or insect pests.
After pruning, it is necessary to water in time to keep the soil moist and help the plant recover.
