Tips from Todd Pruning now will reduce the number of flowers. Prune after flowering. Now is the time to take cuttings of your favorite annuals for rooting. Plants that root well include coleus, begonias, salvia, impatients and sweet potato vine. |
High temperatures can be stressful on our colorful annual and perennial plants causing many to diminish in vigor and beauty. Even though it’s hot outside, take the time to take care of your flowering plants. Good maintenance includes regular fertilization, watering, pruning and weeding.
Many beds deteriorate simply because the flowering plants are starving. Our typical sandy soils don’t have the ability to store large amounts of some nutrients, especially nitrogen and potassium. After four to six weeks of waterings, most of these two nutrients have been depleted.
When you are growing a bonsai tree, you may have observed that the bottom does not grow as fast as the top, a “phenomenon” known as apical dominance. This makes pruning a bonsai a necessary process in order to enhance its growth and maintain its shape.

If youll allow the assumption that plants get most of their nutrition through root uptake, then pruning lets healthy branches absorb more of the available nutrients. If you dont prune even healthy branches may succumb to disease or lack of nutrition if there is not enough to support all the growth. Pruning out dead branches should be obvious.
How much is too much, when learning how to prune Tomatoe Plants? I read the Giant Tomatoe book. It is very helpful. Today, I tried what I have learned and took the suckers and extras of the plant, without hurting those who have flower buttons on them. So how much is too much
the reason for removing suckers is to reduce the total amount of fruit so that those left on the plant are larger, and so that staked plants are more manageable, growing one or two main leads...ive field grown up to 400 unstaked plants at a time and NEVER prune because it only reduces total yield....
