Gardenia seedlings need to be pruned in time, and cannot be picked until they are very tall. Generally, they can be picked for the first time when they grow to 8-10cm, and the top part is cut off. When the plant grows to a certain height again, you can top it again. If it has not spread, you can top it several times more. The newly planted seedlings have not fully adapted to the environment and may have yellow or dead leaves. They need to be cut off from the base of the dead leaves and cut them off thoroughly.

1. First topping

1. First pruning

Gardenia seedlings need to be pruned in time. Gardenia seedlings cannot be pruned after they have grown very high. Generally, they need to be pruned for the first time when they grow to 8-10cm. Cut off the top part. This topping is very important. It can control the height of the plant's growth, promote the growth of other branches, and make the entire plant lush and plump.

Second, second topping

After the first topping is completed, the pruning process does not end. When the plant grows to a certain height again, it can be topping again. It can be picked when it reaches the height of the first topping, or it can be picked according to the specific growth situation. Choose as appropriate. This topping can control the spreading direction of the plant and promote the horizontal growth of the plant. You can do a few more toppings in areas where there are still gaps in the flower pot that have not spread over.

3. Cut off yellow leaves

The newly planted seedlings have not fully adapted to the growth environment. The surrounding environment has an impact on the growth of the plants, which is likely to cause yellow and dead leaves. If they continue to be left on, it will not only affect the appearance. To a certain extent, it will also consume nutrients, so you can cut it off from the yellow base, and cut it off more thoroughly.
