Begonia flowers can be pruned in autumn, after the leaves fall. During autumn pruning, thin, diseased, overly long and dry branches should be removed from the plant. The trimming should not be too heavy and the cutting tools should be clean. In addition, transplanting can also be done in autumn. The suitable seasons for transplanting are spring and autumn, which will cause less harm to the plants.

1. Whether it can be pruned

Begonia flowers can be pruned in autumn. This should be done after the plant loses its leaves in autumn, which is beneficial to its winter and growth. And if pruned at this time, the wound will not be easily infected and rotted. When pruning, you need to cut off thin branches, diseased branches, overly long branches and dry branches on the plant, and shape it according to the specific growth of the plant.

You need to pay attention when pruning, and the degree of pruning should be lighter. Not too heavy. The knives used must be clean and preferably disinfected before use. Moreover, after completing the pruning work, be careful not to let the pruning cut touch water and keep it dry, so that it will recover faster.

2. Whether it can be transplanted

After entering autumn, the temperature will begin to slowly drop. At this time, the plants will gradually begin to go dormant and the leaves will fall. If transplanted at this time, the damage to the plant will be less, and it will recover faster. Doing it when the plants are losing their leaves can reduce water evaporation, so it can also improve the survival rate after transplanting.

In addition to autumn, it can also be done in spring. In early spring, the plants will slowly wake up and have not started to grow vigorously, so transplanting is also more suitable. The temperatures in summer and winter are either high or low, which is very detrimental to plant recovery, so be sure to avoid doing it in these two seasons.
