Violets are fast-growing plants that only require proper fertilizing and watering to thrive with lush foliage. However, for these plants, excessive growth is not beneficial and can even affect the blooming time of the violets. Therefore, proper pruning is necessary. So, how do you prune violets? Let's find out the pruning methods and illustrations for violets together.
【One, How to prune violets】
Violets, as common plants in life, are usually kept at home. However, overly long branches and leaves can look unattractive and affect the overall aesthetics. Therefore, proper pruning is necessary. First, remove all the top buds of the violet to effectively limit its height.
Also, cut off all the yellowing branches and leaves of the plant, or it will affect normal growth. As the yellowed leaves of the violet still absorb nutrients from the soil, while healthy leaves cannot, this can lead to root rot and, in severe cases, plant death.

You can trim them into various shapes according to personal preferences and the actual plant shape, usually umbrella or pagoda shapes. For the former, you should let the lower main stem produce more lateral branches and extend them outward. When shaping, first make an umbrella-shaped frame with thick lead wire on the pot, then evenly distribute the branches on it and tie them with plastic tape. When blooming, the flowers form a large ball, which is very beautiful.

When the violet produces lateral branches, you can keep 3-4 of them and cut off the rest. This will not affect the normal growth of the violet and will enhance its beauty, which is very necessary. Moreover, the extra branches and leaves are not necessary and can even affect the plant's normal growth.

Violet flowers are very beautiful, but they will eventually wither. When the flowers fade, they should be cut off, along with the flower branches. Then, apply fertilizer and strengthen management to promote the plant to sprout new lateral branches and bloom again.
