Pruning
is a task that should not be taken lightly, and it is not a matter of cutting
branches just like that. Here are some tips when making cut, in order not to
damage the plants.
Pruning
is one of the essential tasks for a good and successful gardening. It is the
treatment we give to all kinds of plants to allow better development, increased
flowering, and a much more optimized for overall development.
Generally,
pruning should be done in winter when the plant is "asleep" and its
sap is carried back. This moment is known as "vegetative stop". Thus,
we will avoid unnecessary damage to the plant. However, some other species
require a later pruning with telescopic
branch cutter in early spring, especially those with abundant flowers,
such as rose bushes.
To
make a good cut with gardening
steel wood chopper, when pruning plants, so as not to damage them, we
need the right tools and in good condition. For pruning branches strong, as is
the case in developed trees need sharpened manual or electric saws and allowing
for smooth and quick cuts. Pruning to thin or weak, leaves and other branches,
we will need scissors gardening shears or sharp, and with good cut.
Having
the tools, clean, free of rust and sharp, the plant will not suffer and pruning
will be extremely effective.
To
make cuts during pruning plants, we must know the details of the species. For
example, to prune roses, we must cut above the nerves of those who corsages 5
sheets derived therefrom, and not the three leaves. We should always make cuts
"on top" of the ribs (ie, away from the center of the plant), not to
prevent flowering or resprouting.
The
most suitable cutting usually be done with tilted about 45 degrees, from the
bottom up, and in the direction of growth of the industry or sector to prune
tool. After cutting, we can deal with products or mineral oils to prevent the
spread of disease in the plant, but will not be necessary in all cases.
