How to cut a geranium: autumn and spring. I began to follow these rules and see the magnificent flowering

Geranium (Pelargonium) - houseplant that will not be beautiful without regular scrap. Of course, someone can be like a long empty branches, and is the right florist. Neither good nor bad. But the lush bushes, in my opinion, looks beautiful.

If you want to grow ornamental shrub geraniums - come to mind to cut. Or rather, to Pelargonium with scissors. Here I write than the autumn crop is different from the spring to help orient and not to panic, not knowing what to pitch when.

Pruning are different: forming, seasonal, health. But they have one goal: to help the plant to become more beautiful

Autumn pruning of geranium: what is the meaning

In principle, a healthy and well-formed bush geranium can fall and not be cut off. Because the spring will still have to do pruning again.

But for the comfort you need to trim the shoots, which is not exactly need:

🔹 It has lost more than half of the summer leaves. They shortened drastically, leaving only 1/3. Hemp need to have then gone new branches.

🔹 shoots, creating a strong density. For example, two threads grow close to each other in one direction. Such beauty should be cut, leaving the stump.

Pelargoshki, hibernating in a hibernation drastically cool (basement, for example) is cut off more strongly - almost at the root. Pelargonium, remaining in a warm house, cut without fanaticism: Radical pruning only hurt.

Important! In autumn spend formative pruning royal geraniums and pelargoniums angels. They, in contrast to a simple zone, will form the beginnings of flowering in winter and early spring. And spring cropping - the risk of losing half of the caps.

Spring pruning - is, where carousing

The task of the spring pruning of geranium - to force the plant to build up a large but healthy green mass. A lot of branches, without interfering with each other - the key to the ball flowering.

By March we have seen the loss of winter. It is not surprising if most of the leaves of opal. Wintering - not the most, you know, a favorable period in the life of a geranium. But the plants have time to rest and ready to riot on the window sill and in the gardens!

Therefore cut all naked shoots, leaving 1 / 2-1 / 4 of the branches. Advance imagine what you want to see my geraniums. The challenge now - to leave 2-4 skeletal branches. They will begin to grow into shoots from lateral buds, and you get a lush bush.

Most importantly, leave a little leaf. It is necessary to fotosineteza. Do not be afraid to trim what izroslos and summer. And when the age and shape of the bush leaves no chances for decorative - easily by cuttings, because pelargonium growing so fast!
