Moonflower construction of flowering branches are divided into the following: spring pruning, summer pruning, fall pruning, winter pruning.

One, spring pruning

Spring is the season of flowering, before the flowering, you can cut off the dead and yellow rotten leaves on the moonflower plant, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote flowering.

The first bloom of the moon season is in the spring around April, can be pruned in late May after the bloom, cut off the failed residual flowers, to avoid seeding just after the beginning of the flowering period, in the bud point above the 0.5 cm diagonal cut, in the flower branch to retain about 5 buds, but also need to cut off the withered and yellowed leaves on the moon season plant.

Two, summer pruning

The first body pruning should be at the end of June and early July each year, this time should be a light cut mainly at this time pruning is mainly for the preservation of nutrients, in the moonflower pruning, can be in the second pair of leaves below the flowers below the diagonal cut, but also need to cut off the moonflower branches of the futile, in order to better preservation of nutrients.

Three, fall pruning

Generally, the natural flowering period of the moon season is from April to September, the fall can be pruned, cut off the excess buds, which can be conducive to more buds, more flowers. It is also necessary to thin the moon season, cut off the branches that are too dense and too long to increase ventilation and light penetration.

Four, winter pruning

Moonflower will enter the dormant period in the winter, when the growth basically stops, you can carry out heavy pruning. Prepared to sterilize the sharp scissors, the moon plants on the thin, dry branches cut off, but also need to cut off the disease and insect branches and leaves.

Moonflower pruning points and potting soil replacement:

1, pruning points: moonflower bloom to cut off the dry buds. When the moon flower buds appear for the first time, a well-shaped bud to stay, the rest cut off. Leave only one bud per branch, and the future flowers will be full and colorful, with large flowers and a strong fragrance.

Full pruning must be done after each season's bloom. In general, it should be gently pruned, cut off the open residual flowers and weak, cross, overlapping branches in a timely manner, from the base to leave thick, young branches, leaving only 3 to 6cm, leaving the outer buds, pruning into a natural open-heart shape, so that the plant shape is beautiful, prolonging the flowering period.

2, potting soil replacement: in order to maintain vigorous plant growth, plant posture, every year after the fall of the leaves before germination combined with pruning, replacement of potting soil, fertilizer. Changing pots generally still use the original specifications of the pot, the number is no longer increased. Winter in the cellar in the closed preservation of the whole lump off, and then the surface cover of the root and the bottom of the drainage layer removed, and then the periphery of the root coiled too dense fibrous roots cut off.

Care is taken to check and eliminate decayed roots and rhizomes, and to protect the root soil from dispersal. Generally cancel the old potting soil is not more than half of the pot, and then into the cold cellar false planting, spring with new soil potting. Winter placed in a cold room or film sun bed, you can change the new soil into the original pot, the operation point is the same as pouring pots. After changing pots and watering a thorough watering, you can enter the cold room or sun bed maintenance.
