After the flowers fade, not picking the remaining petals can lead to such serious consequences
Abstract: This article introduces the serious consequences of not picking the remaining petals after flowers fade, and the related introduction of green plants and flowers. The following editor will answer in detail for you.
In the process of growing flowers, many flower enthusiasts only want to admire the beauty of flowers, hoping that the potted plants can bloom for a longer time, but they never remove the remaining petals. In fact, not picking the remaining petals has a significant impact on many plants.
You might say, in nature, plants bloom and bear fruit without picking remaining petals, so why should we pick them from potted plants?
Plants in nature bloom and bear fruit to propagate the next generation, while we grow potted plants for appreciation. In the absence of collecting seeds, in order to make the potted plants bloom better, with more and longer-lasting flowers, we need to remove the remaining petals in time. Let's take a look at the reasons for removing remaining petals.
1. Promote the next flower to bloom as soon as possible Flower enthusiasts who have grown roses should have felt that after a rose fades, whether or not the remaining petals are cut, the time for the next flower to bloom is different, and the size of the flowers is also different.
After the flowers fade, not picking the remaining petals can lead to such serious consequences
If the remaining petals are not cut, they will continue to consume and may even bear fruit, prioritizing the remaining petals, and the nutrients for the following flower buds will be distributed, cutting the remaining petals in time allows nutrients to be concentrated (G-Y) for the waiting flower buds, which can promote earlier blooming.
2. Promote secondary blooming For some shrub flowers, picking the remaining petals in time can also promote the formation of a second bloom. Taking roses as an example again, if the remaining petals of roses are not cut, the buds on the branches will sprout later, and the time for the second bloom will be delayed, with smaller flowers.
Removing the remaining petals in time can stimulate the growth of new branches, producing new flower buds. Because the remaining petals are cut in time, it also avoids nutrient wastage, and the second bloom can still be quite good.
For example, some herbaceous flower varieties, such as dwarf petunias, after the first bloom, if the remaining petals are not removed in time, they will produce seeds, not only inhibiting the growth of the second bloom but also consuming a lot of nutrients.
If the remaining petals can be removed in time, it can avoid excessive nutrient consumption and also promote secondary growth, leading to blooming again.
