The best time to prune this kind of flower is in spring or autumn. There are many factors to be considered in pruning, including the growth state of the plant and the surrounding temperature. Summer is the season of rapid growth of Begonia. At this time, the plant has a high demand for impact. If pruning at this time, the plant will not be able to fully absorb the nutrients, which will cause the whole plant to wither or fall flowers. The winter pruning is also very inappropriate, the temperature is low, the plant growth is relatively slow, at this time, pruning will make it more difficult to grow. So the best time is in spring and autumn. At this time, pruning will not make it lack of nutrients, and will not make it difficult to grow. In addition, when the branches and leaves just grow or recede, they need less nutrients, and pruning will not affect it.
When pruning Begonia, it's better to use a sharper tree cutter. When pruning, if the scissors are not sharp enough, it will cause damage to the cortex of the plant, or squeeze and deform its branches, which has a great impact on the growth, development and aesthetics of the plant. In addition, the scissors selected must be clean, otherwise it may cause bacterial infection to the plant and damage to the growth of the plant. So when pruning it, be sure to prune it with clean tree scissors.
When pruning, we need to leave some good branches. We need to cut those inferior branches and keep four main branches. Too many branches are not good. After all, the main branches will still divide many twigs. In addition, when pruning, try to cut off the peripheral branches at the bottom. Do not prune the internal branches too much, so as to ensure ventilation, prevent it from rotting, and allow it to have enough space to grow. Finally, it should be noted that it is best to prune it before and after it blooms. Never prune it when it is in bloom, otherwise it will affect its flowering in the next year.
