Imati pruning is done during the growth and flowering periods, which is during spring and summer. Among them, pruning during the growth period means pinching off the top buds of the plant when it reaches a height of 25 cm to encourage it to branch more. Pruning during flowering is to cut off the flower stems to avoid seed formation and promote longer flowering time. The flowers at the base should also be cut off to save nutrients and encourage the top flower buds to open.
1. Pruning time
1. Pruning time
If you want impatiens to grow better and bloom more, you must prune them in time during the management period. Pruning is usually done during the peak growth and flowering seasons, that is, in spring and summer. The flowering period will slowly end in autumn. It is an annual plant and does not need to be managed later.
2. Pruning method
1. Pruning during the growth period: The growth rate of impatiens is relatively fast, and there are few lignified parts of the branches and they are relatively tender. Therefore, pruning should begin when the main branch reaches a height of 25 cm. Pinch off the top buds, which can enhance its branching ability. In the later period, the overall plant shape will be fuller and the number of flowers will increase.
2. Pruning during the flowering period: During the flowering period Impatiens also need pruning, especially if you want to enjoy the flowers. Cut off the flower stems so that the flowers cannot produce seeds and the flowers will bloom more prosperously. In addition, the flowers blooming at the base should also be cut off in time, which can save a lot of nutrients and encourage the flower buds at the top to open one after another, resulting in a cluster of flowers and a higher ornamental value.
3. Precautions for pruning
When pruning, you must first disinfect the tools to avoid infection of the wound and make the plant susceptible to disease. In addition, do not water in a hurry after pruning, and do not allow the wound to get wet. Wait for the wound to heal before resuming management.
