How to prune asparagus when it grows tall?

Asparagus is a common foliage potted plant, also known as Pinus yunnanensis. Asparagus tends to grow too long branches. After three years of cultivation, the longest branch can reach 2 to 3 meters. If the plant is too high or the single branch is too long, it will affect the appearance of the plant, and the supply of nutrients at the top will also affect the growth of other parts of the plant. It is necessary to trim plants in time, cut short long branches, and trim and shape them properly. Let's talk about how to prune asparagus when it grows too high.

First, pruning method

1. seedlings

If the seedlings grow too high, topping can be carried out to remove the tender leaves at the top, which can promote the growth of lateral branches and control the height of plants, so as to form more beautiful plant types in the future.

2. Adult plants

For adult plants, do not prune at will, and try not to prune the side branches, which will hinder the normal growth of the plants. For/kloc-0 annual or 2-year-old asparagus plants, the top branches of the plants should be cut off properly to reduce the top advantage and promote the growth of side branches. 3-4-year-old plants will have many trailing branches, which can be cut directly from the roots.

Second, the pruning method

Asparagus is a creeping plant. If a single branch is too long, cut the long branch to the same height as other branches. In order to promote the plant to grow upright and evenly, it is also necessary to shorten the weak branches and excessively thick branches and cut off the messy branches. At this time, you can trim it appropriately according to your own preferences and raise your own satisfactory plant type.

Third, pruning time.

Pruning can be carried out in any season, and spring should be carried out in mid-April, when the branches and leaves grow fastest and the negative impact caused by pruning is the least. In winter, it can also be trimmed to control plant height, and it can also be trimmed by thinning.

Fourth, matters needing attention

1. Alternative method

In addition to cutting off too long branches, you can also tie the branches horizontally or vertically downward, thus weakening the top advantage.

Step 2 prune every day

At ordinary times, thinning should be carried out properly, and the branches that are too dense and grow inward should be pruned off, so that the branches and leaves are fully ventilated and transparent, and the illumination of the branches and leaves is more uniform and ventilated smoothly, so as to prevent yellow leaves, and it is necessary to prune them repeatedly to achieve a satisfactory plant type.
