1, centering: breeding longevity flower, should be in the plant seedlings grow to 12 cm when its centering, the top of the new shoots cut off, to promote the emergence of lateral branches. 2, fork: the growth period will be the long branch, weak branches, disease and dead branches cut off. 3, flowering pruning: after the flowering of the remnants of the flowers, remnants of the cut off, to save nutrients. 4, Note: after September each year to stop pruning.
1, centering
When the longevity of the flower grows to 12 centimeters tall, 4-5 pairs of leaves can be centering, centering to more than five centimeters as a benchmark, pruning off the top of the pair of new shoots. In addition, the first time to cut the main branch to retain 5-10 cm in length, and wait until the growth of new branches to repeat the pruning once.
2, fork
Longevity flowers need to fork during the growth period, some growth in the long, weak branches, diseased branches, dead branches, overlapping cross-branching branches one by one to cut out, so that not only can play the plant permeability, but also reduce the consumption of nutrients. This promotes the full absorption of nutrients, the growth of branches and leaves.
3, flowering pruning
In the long life after flowering is the need for timely pruning, generally can be in the long life flowers after the second week of pruning. Use sterilized scissors to cut off the old branches and stubs directly after flowering, and then cut off the remaining non-flowering buds together, try not to stay on it.
4, Note
Need to pay attention to is the longevity of the flower pruning time is best in the sunny spring and fall seasons, after the end of September do not prune. After pruning in a timely manner with the cuttings disinfection treatment to avoid disease infection. Strong branches from pruning can be used as cuttings to propagate new perennials.
