What flowers should not be trimmed casually in spring
The editor will explain which flowers should not be trimmed casually in spring and discuss the experience of green plant maintenance for 4 kinds of flowers that should not be randomly pruned in spring. Let's take a look together.
It's now March, with a comfortable temperature that is not too hot or cold, and the plants are blooming with the spring breeze. Many flower friends will trim the branches of their plants to make them look tidier and more beautiful. Although spring is a good time to prune the branches of flowers and plants, it also depends on the specific situation. Some flower varieties should not be pruned casually. Rushing to prune can reduce the number of flowers, leaving no flowers to enjoy this spring.
Gardenia
Gardenia leaves are dark green, and the flowers are white with a strong fragrance. Many flower lovers have them planted at home. Gardenia blooms vigorously in summer, and proper maintenance in spring is crucial for its summer bloom.
Gardenia buds are very special. Although they bloom in summer, their buds begin to form in the autumn of the previous year. These buds develop through winter and grow in spring before blooming in May to June of the following summer. Therefore, when maintaining gardenias in spring, make sure not to prune too heavily, or else the buds will be cut off, greatly reducing the number of flowers in summer.
Hydrangea
Hydrangea, also known as eight Immortals flower, zi yang flower, and pink ball flower, is extremely popular among flower friends and is known along with roses and clematis as the "three treasures of the garden." There are many varieties of hydrangeas, and most of the hydrangeas purchased from the flower market belong to the old-branch flowering varieties. These varieties can only form flower buds on old branches, starting to differentiate flower buds in late autumn each year, experiencing the low temperatures of winter, and then budding and flowering in the spring of the following year.

In spring, as the weather warms up, many new buds will appear on the branches of hydrangeas. With proper care, most of these new buds can grow into flowering branches. Therefore, we cannot prune too much or too heavily in spring, as it may damage the flower buds on old branches, leaving no flowers to enjoy in spring.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle, scientific name Lonicera. It is named "honeysuckle" because the flowers come in two colors, yellow and white. Honeysuckle is vigorous, cold and heat resistant, and is planted in most parts of our country. The flowering period of honeysuckle is from April to June, with flower buds mainly concentrated at the top of the branches. Do not prune too much of the top branches in spring, or the flower buds will be gone.
Heavy pruning of honeysuckle usually occurs in January to February of winter. In winter, with low temperatures and no branch growth or flower buds, it is the time to prune and pull its branches extensively.
