Evening primrose also needs proper pruning. Its growth rate is faster. If it is not pruned for a long time, the longest branch can grow to more than 1 meter, so it needs pruning every year.
1. Proper pruning in spring can promote the growth of new shoots of evening primrose, and make rational use of nutrients. The pruning part is the top of each branch plus a small section of branches, which can be cut together. This method can also be called heartpicking, which is also the most commonly used one in pruning plants.
2. After the flowering period, cut off the pedicel of the evening primrose flower in time, so as to reduce the loss of nutrients and make the new branches grow better.
3. When the flowers are all withered, the dry branches and dead branches should be cut off. At this time, the branches that are too dense and too long can be cut off together, which will increase the light transmission effect of the evening primrose and reduce the nutrient consumption in winter. The evening primrose in the east of basin must control the density of plants.
4. If it is too long, it can be stopped by cutting it short. The cutting length shall not exceed 1 /2 of the whole branch. It's best to leave 3 to 4 leaves on each cut stem, so as to make nutrients in the soil
5. Prune the old, weak, sick and withered straight stems in time.
The above is the pruning method of evening primrose. I hope it can help you a lot.
If you want to prune a plant, you must first know its life and habits. For example, its flowering, inspection, growth and dormancy period.
