The pruning of sunflower is usually carried out once two years after planting, and then pruned in time with the increasing height of the plant. General pruning is mainly to solve the problems such as the decrease of spatial growth length of leaves and branches and the lack of light exposure caused by the excessive growth of sunflower. It can also solve the problem of nutrient deficiency caused by the tall plants and dense stems and leaves.

It is mainly to cut some too large main branches, because the stem is too thick, it should need some large tools, and then it is to cut some sick and weak branches. If you want to cut, you can replant the slightly healthy branches into the idle flowerpot, so that you can finish the trimming and reduce the waste.
