Method of pruning gardenias in winter
1. -- Preparation of tools --
Before pruning gardenias, appropriate tools need to be prepared. Prepare a sharp pair of special scissors or a sharp knife, a dilution of 500-1000 times of the bactericide solution or carbendazim solution, and some clean plant ash, and use the solution to disinfect and sterilize the tools.

The time for pruning gardenias in winter should not be too early or too late. If too early, the young buds of the plant may be frostbitten, and if too late, the new branches of the plant may be cut off. Therefore, pruning in December is best, and it should be done on a relatively clear day, avoiding pruning on cloudy, rainy, frosty, or snowy days.
3. -- Pruning steps --
Take out the disinfected scissors, then find the most vigorous and tallest leaves at the top of the plant, cut off about 2-3 pairs of leaves, and then cut off the useless branches such as intersecting branches, overlapping branches, and runty branches on the plant, loosen the plant's shape, and make it more ventilated and beautiful.
4. -- Maintenance work --
After pruning, it is necessary to promptly rinse and disinfect the wound with a relatively thin disinfectant solution and apply some plant ash to help the plant dry the moisture, place it in a semi-shaded and well-ventilated area for a period of maintenance to prevent the invasion of bacteria into the plant, and also pay attention to watering, not splashing water on the plant's wounds.
