Early winter pruning: Gardenias can be pruned again in early winter, and all poorly growing branches and twigs and side branches around the main branches should be cut off, and the main branches should be shortened appropriately. Spring pruning: When new buds grow, the new buds on the main branches can be removed 1-2 times. Pruning after flowering: After flowering, the remaining flowers, diseased branches and dead branches need to be cut off in time.

1. Pruning in early winter

1. Early winter pruning

At the beginning of winter, gardenias need to be pruned. This time, you can prune a little more heavily. Cut off all the branches that have growth problems, and cut off all the surrounding twigs and side branches. If the main branches grow too long, they can be cut back appropriately. This can reduce a lot of nutrient consumption and is very beneficial to the plants over the winter.

2. Spring Pruning

After entering spring, it also needs to be pruned. When it grows new buds for the first and second time, use scissors to cut off all the new buds on its main branches. This will allow it to grow more side branches, making it grow more lush, and also allow it to bloom more flowers during the flowering period.

3. Pruning after flowering

After it blooms, it needs to be pruned again. At this time, you should focus on pruning the remaining flowers after they bloom. Because they have no ornamental value and waste nutrients in the plant, they must be cut off in time. In addition, if there are diseased branches or dead branches on them, they need to be cut off in time. This will make it grow healthier.
