The Art of Pruning

Pruning is a crucial aspect of maintaining healthy plants. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches to promote better airflow and prevent the spread of diseases. When pruning, make clean cuts just above the node or bud, using sharp and sterilized pruning shears. Trim any overgrown or crossing branches to shape the plant and allow light to reach the inner parts. In addition to regular pruning, it’s important to remove spent flowers, known as deadheading, to encourage continuous blooming. Remember to research and follow specific pruning guidelines for different plant varieties.
