What are the common flower pruning methods

As the saying goes, flowers and trees, "seven points tube, three points cut", this is an important flower experience. By cutting out unnecessary acrobatics, disease and insect branches or for the sprouting of new shoots and appropriate treatment of branches, you can save nutrients, reduce consumption, to ensure that the nutrient centralized supply of the required branches and leaves or to promote flowering, to achieve the purpose of more flowers, more results. And can also regulate the tree, so that the branches of the flowers and trees are evenly distributed, to control the growth, to ensure that the shape of the flowers and trees neat, beautiful. In addition, pruning can also make the flowers and trees to achieve the ideal height and thickness, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, and help to improve the survival rate of flowers and trees. Pruning methods There are many pruning methods, the following is an introduction to several commonly used pruning methods: (l) short cut: that is, a part of the branch is cut off, usually cut off the front of the branch 1/3 - 3/4, the purpose is to prevent the branch from elongation, while promoting the axillary bud buds sprouting under the cut, to ensure that the growth of more lateral branches, so that the periphery of the crown extension to expand and increase the flowering parts, so that the crown is evenly distributed, the plant shape has become full of round and rounded. It is also conducive to increase the flowering point, to ensure that the plant more flowers, more fruit. (2) thinning: in the plant growth of lush, cut off the cascading branches, inward branches, pests and diseases, branches and senescent branches, cut off the leaves of the disease or insect injury or too dense leaves, the purpose is to improve the plant ventilation and light conditions, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, is conducive to the plant healthy and strong growth, but also adjust the shape of the tree, so that they are clearly defined levels, neat and beautiful. Thinning is not like short cut as well as leaving stumps, thinning shelter by the base of the pruning, do not leave stumps. For foliage flowers with mottled and foliage, if the green branches of the growth than with mottled and foliage branches vigorous, should be pruned off the green branches in a timely manner, so as not to cover the green branches and foliage with mottled and foliage branches, to maintain the characteristics of the original varieties: note that conifers should not be removed from the foliage. (3) centering: also known as the tip, top, with a finger directly remove the young tip end of the top buds, breaking its apical dominance, to promote its lower axillary buds sprouting, to achieve the purpose of suppressing the branches of the stunted growth, to promote the plant more branches, the formation of more flower heads and beautiful plant shape. For example, begonias, bunches of red, lotus, August snow, nine lilies, golden bells, etc. need to be plucked (4) wipe the buds: the axillary buds of the flowers, shoots, so as to save nutrients, to ensure that the main trunk of the supply of nutrients is sufficient (5) remove the leaves: in order to "make the flowers more beautiful, to remove the yellow leaves, stumps of the leaves, the leaves of the disease and the leaves of the flowers cover the fruits: (6) thinning and thinning of the fruits: for most of the fruit flowers, the number of blooms is too much, affecting the blooming effect and the quality of the results, so the flowers and the fruits of the fruit are not the only thing that the flowers can do. Blossom effect as well as the quality of the fruit, so should be too dense flowers, fruit thinning Because the flowers left behind may not always be able to bear fruit, so the flowers left behind should be 2-3 times the number of fruit production is expected to wait until the fruit is sitting, and then thin out the excess of young fruits. For example, camellias and other potted flowers often form too many flower buds, which can be thinned out in order to make their blooms look better. Thinning flower buds should be done as early as possible so that the excess flower buds do not consume too much nutrients. This is usually done when the flower buds and leaf buds can just be distinguished, breaking off the excess buds and leaving 1-2 flowers per branch. Water ready to harvest seeds of potted flowers, into its opening in a timely manner after the removal of residual flowers, so as not to consume nutrients: (7) wipe the head: such as rubber tree, goosefoot, large king dai pink leaf and other large flowers, the plant is too tall, in indoor cultivation is difficult, so need to wipe the head.
