Friends who have raised the moon season know "winter scissors". Proper winter pruning can not only prevent the loss of nutrients, but also allow Yueji to better survive the winter and prepare for the next year's flowering.
However, it's not just the moon season that needs to be pruned in winter. In fact, in the north, many flowers are pruned during the winter months. Once pruned, you won't have to worry about the buds next year. The following are the 7 flowers to prune in winter and the pruning methods I have sorted out, and interested friends can take a look.
1. Monthly quarter
It should be explained in advance that in the Liangguang area, the moon season generally does not need to be pruned, because in places with higher temperatures, the moon season can survive in winter, the leaves are green, the branches are green, and it can grow and bloom normally.
In addition to the Liangguang area, when winter pruning in other places, nutrients should be collected and returned to the roots according to the local temperature, so as to strengthen the root system, so that when the spring of the next year comes, new branches can grow and more flowers bloom.
So, when to carry out winter pruning, due to the different temperatures in different regions, the time of winter pruning is not very accurate, whether to winter prune, depends on their own monthly growth conditions.
The flowers have fallen, and the leaves have slowly turned red and yellow: this kind of moon season is not a complete hibernation, so you don't need to prune it for the time being, you can wait a little longer.
The leaves turn yellow and fall, and a lot of purple buds appear on the branches, at this time, the wintering task of the moon season has ended, and it has entered hibernation, and at this time, it is time for winter pruning.
Pruning the moon in winter is also a great opportunity to shape the moon season. It is best to take the thickest root as the first branch, if there is a fork on the first branch, it is the second branch, the thicker one is kept, and the thicker one is cut directly.
Then prune some weak branches with weak flowering, such as weak branches, cross branches, etc., and you can prune them.
After pruning, bury another layer of winter fertilizer, preferably with organic fertilizer, to enhance the fertility of the soil, so that the flowering will be more vigorous and easier to bloom in the coming year.
2. Blue snowflakes
Blue snowflakes are also not very hardy, and in cold places in winter, they should also be pruned, so as to prevent low temperatures, maintain nutrients, and produce better flowers the next day.
When winter pruning blue snowflakes, as long as the temperature is below 7-8, they can be pruned.
In winter, blue snowflakes are cut instead of roses.
Blue snowflake seedlings should be properly slightly pruned, this is because the root system of blue snowflake seedlings is not very thick, and the ability to absorb nutrients and rejuvenate is not strong, so it is necessary to prune properly, leaving only some thick branches, so that they can resume growth and flowering faster in the second year.
For the large seedlings of blue snow chrysanthemum, appropriate re-pruning can be carried out. In order to save nutrients, you can keep the main stem and part of the branches of the main trunk, and you can sprout more in the next year, which is a typical flower with new shoots, more side branches, and more strong branches, you can bloom more flowers.
3. Hydrangea cone
The flowering period of hydrangea is summer, after one flowering, it is difficult to bloom again, after flowering, it is necessary to cut off the remaining flowers in time to avoid wasting too much nutrients, and in autumn, the leaves of hydrangea will slowly turn yellow and fall like a dead tree.
After winter, the hydrangea should be pruned drastically, so as to avoid excessive nutrient loss and make the winter safer;The second is to allow nutrients to flow back to the trunk and roots, and promote the growth of hydrangea.
Look at the branches of the hydrangea, you will see that there are many fresh bud points, these bud points will be the main branches that will bloom next year, when pruning, on top of these bud points, cut off all the branches, if the branches are too thin, the flowering ability will be very poor, or even will not bloom, and it will affect the overall permeability, it is better to cut off.
Then sprinkle a layer of winter fertilizer on top so that it will bloom the next year.
4. Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemum is a plant that blooms in autumn, after autumn, the flowers of chrysanthemums will gradually wither, even some small flowers will sprout, however, at the end of the year, it is necessary to carry out a major pruning so that it is not too much nutrients, so that the next year can grow more lush and produce more flowers.
When pruning chrysanthemums, you should keep in mind one sentence: only the roots, only the buds, not the stubble, is to leave its roots, the buds below it, and the old branches to remove, what to do?
In the process of pruning chrysanthemums, you can control the moisture a week in advance to keep the potting soil relatively dry and will not affect its rootsDuring the process of cutting chrysanthemums, special attention should be paid to the small seedlings that emerge from the soil, which is the main force for the next flowering.
If this is cut, the next year's flowers will definitely be affected. In the process of pruning chrysanthemums, it is necessary to prune as close to the soil surface as possible, and not let the "stubble" be too high, so as not to quickly climb to the old branches of the new shoots, resulting in a waste of nutrients.
Some flower friends will have two situations when they see that their chrysanthemum soil has not sprouted. First, the growth period of chrysanthemums is too short, usually 2-3 years old chrysanthemums, it is easier to drill new shoots in the soil;The second is that the soil is too compact, and the new shoots cannot be poked out of the soil.
5. Triangle plum
Triceratops are also not very hardy plants, and in some cold places in the north, they simply cannot survive outdoors and can only be moved into the house, otherwise they can easily get frostbitten, or freeze to death.
However, in Liangguang and other places, as well as some heated northern, the temperature exceeds 15 degrees Celsius, and the triangular plum can still grow normally without any pruning.
Elsewhere, where temperatures are cooler, the triangular plum has mostly lost its leaves, leaving only bare branches, or a few new leaves;There are also plants that bloom but do not grow taller and need to be pruned properly.
Pruning the triangular plum can be divided into light pruning and heavy pruning.
The main trunk of the triangular plum is weak, and the branches are not very dense, and it is generally pruned, as long as a small section of some twigs is cut off, it can limit its growth, force it to sleep a little longer, and produce more flowers in the next year. At the same time, the return of nutrients also makes the Triangle plum self-strengthening.
The main trunk of the triangular plum is stronger, with more branches, and can be re-pruned. Cut off 1 3 of the whole triangle plum, and more new branches will emerge on the side branches in the next year, increasing the flowering period.
For those trees that still have flowers on their branches but are no longer growing, prune the remaining flowers and then prune them lightly to suit their size.
6. Sunflower
Sunflowers are easy to burst, however, in winter, when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, it will fall into light hibernation, even if your sunflower is still blooming, or even has begun to sprout, but when the temperature drops, you still have to prune in time, recuperate, and bloom better flowers in the next year.
If it's a lollipop-type sunflower, you can start at the edge of the stem and cut them all so that the next spring, the sunflower will have more shoots and more flowers.
For other forms of sunflowers, most of the branches should be cut off, leaving only a small part of the branches and leaves, so that they can carry out the most basic photosynthesis and the most basic metabolism.
Some sunflowers are dangling, so just cut off all the branches around the pot.
If the temperature in the home is high, the pruned branches can also be cuttings, and it is easy to take root.
7. Clematis
In winter, clematis in many places have lost their leaves and their branches have turned yellow, but if you peel off the leaves, they are still green, which is sleeping, as long as you prune them, you can save nutrients, and when you come to spring, you can rejuvenate again.
The way clematis is pruned varies depending on the species. For a kind of evergreen clematis that still has green leaves, you only need to cut off the dead branches and weak branches, and the others do not need to be ignored;
The second is the naturally dropped clematis, look from the bottom to the top, find the bud points, and then cut off the top parts of these bud points, so that they can grow better.
On the other hand, there are no bud spots, just cut them all out, and they can take root and sprout in the soil the next year, and the flowering speed is extremely fast.
Final Word:
7 kinds of flowers need to be "winter scissors", prune in time, don't worry about the buds in the coming year, friends who have these 7 kinds of flowers at home, friends who have not started should hurry up.
