Now many flower friends have begun to cut their own geranium, but at the same time, they will encounter some problems, so today we will talk about some common problems about Geranium pruning.
When is the best time to cut Geranium?
Geranium is suitable for pruning before the growth period. When it comes to the growth period, the new buds can grow quickly. The growth period of geranium is generally in spring and autumn, and pruning in late summer and early autumn is generally recommended. Because the geranium can catch up with the golden season of autumn, the temperature is gradually decreasing, and the humidity is relatively moderate. It won't be too hot or too wet to cause infection. The cuttings can also be used reasonably.
At this time, when the geranium was in full bloom in the spring of the next year, it could grow stronger. Only the strong branches could produce more flowers. If pruned in early spring, it will delay the peak flowering season. You can adjust according to the time you want to see. (the small pruning of bowls can be put in early spring, because the bowls in Jiangnan in early spring are not good-looking. They can only be good-looking when the temperature and sunshine are warm enough in late spring and early summer.).
Lightly trimmed Pelargonium
2、 What is the way to cut Geranium?
The best performance of Pelargonium is in the second and third year, so it is not recommended to re cut young plants, only when the sprouting ability of branches is seriously degraded. Early heavy cutting will only accelerate the aging of the main stem, which is not good for rejuvenation. To put it bluntly, "too much is better than too much.".
Re cutting: most of the plant is cut off, leaving only three to five centimeters of branches at the bottom.
The reason why the foreign Flower Club re cuts after flowering is that the participating flowers have been over loaded and burst. After a period of time, only the flowers and leaves are in full bloom, and the leaves are often in poor condition because of the lack of sunlight and ventilation. Therefore, in order to reduce the nutrient consumption, and in order to promote the germination of new leaves, the plants are re cut.
Light pruning of heavy cut Geranium: General autumn pruning only needs to cut off or shorten the branches with sunburn or poor development, bad shape and poor position in summer. Smear the cut with sulfur powder or carbendazim dry powder to prevent the juice secreted from the wound from attracting insects or causing infection.
[warm tip]: the geranium should be pruned when it is warm and dry, and it must not be re pruned.
After summer, it's always hurt. Proper light pruning is good for sprouting new branches and plant rest. Don't let them rush to bloom. Moderate pruning in autumn can delay the flowering time for more than a month. Many erect days, after rest, can bloom until the second year.
