【One, How to prune begonia flowers】
Begonia flowers grow relatively fast, especially in the summer, which is their growing season. As long as sufficient water and fertilizer are provided, begonia flowers can grow robustly. However, to make the begonia branches and leaves grow more luxuriant, it is necessary to prune properly and also thin out the overly dense areas.
Otherwise, it will affect the overall aesthetics, and it will also look unattractive after flowering. Therefore, it is important to剪去 some of the longer branches according to the shape needed for the begonia to promote the growth of lateral branches and increase the number of flowering branches to ensure unique flowers for the next year.

<1. Prepare scissors for pruning>
If you want to prune a nice shape, you first need to prepare scissors. If the scissors are not sharp enough, they can easily cause damage to the plant's bark or deform the branches during pruning, which will have a significant impact on the plant's growth and aesthetics.
<2. Cut off dead branches and yellow leaves>
When pruning, it is best to cut off some of the withered branches and leaves because if they are not cut off, the dead branches will still absorb nutrients from the pot, affecting the normal growth of the begonia. Therefore, some of the yellow leaves should also be cut, but it is important to prune them before or after flowering, never during the flowering period, as it will affect the flowering the next year.
<3. Pruning after the flowers fade>
Different varieties of begonia have different growth periods. It is necessary to prune the branches of begonia two weeks after the flowers fade according to the different flowering periods. Trim crowded and prominent branches. You can shorten the long branches, leaving 3 to 4 buds at the base. This helps increase the formation of short branches that produce flower buds.
