Gardenia pruning time has two time periods, one is in June and July, the purpose of pruning is to let nutrients concentration, more conducive to Gardenia flowering, the other time period is in December, this time period pruning is to remove redundant branches and leaves, stimulate the normal growth of branches and leaves, stimulate Gardenia to grow new branches.
In June and July, pruning only needs to remove redundant and overgrown branches and leaves, let nutrients concentrate and make room for healthy branches to grow, and prepare for flowering, which will make the number of flowers bloom more and quality better. The pruning in December should not only remove the residual flowers and dead branches, but also remove the newly grown branches, that is, remove the leaves on the top, so as to make it grow stronger and distribute nutrients more evenly.
No matter which pruning, after pruning, the plant should be sprayed with sterilized medicine. Because the Gardenia just pruned is relatively weak, the bacteria are easy to enter from the incision, affecting the health of the plant. You can spray 1000 liquid chlorothalonil once, so as to improve the immunity of the plant. When watering, avoid the incision to prevent infection. The water that irrigates also chooses the water that passes through airing as far as possible, because the water that airs after airing cleans appropriate chlorine in the water, such water is used to irrigate Gardenia won't have harm to it..
