1. Early spring pruning

In February to March, when spring has just entered, you can prune its branches and leaves. At this time, all old and dry branches should be cut off, and longer branches should be shortened. This will not only reduce a lot of nutrient consumption, but also make room for the growth of new branches, allowing it to grow more new branches.

< p>In summer, that is, from July to August, it can also be pruned. At this time, cut off any remaining flowers that have completely faded but are still hanging on the branches. This will be more beneficial to its subsequent results. In addition, it is more susceptible to disease at this time, so you need to observe the plant more. Once disease occurs, diseased branches need to be cut off immediately.
