几天前，一位不懂园艺的朋友问我，如何让她的容器花园在整个夏天都保持最佳状态。 当然，我提到了常规的任务：适当浇水、定期施肥和剪枯枝，她茫然地看着我。 我解释说，剪枯枝就是把枯萎的花朵剪掉，掐掉这些枯萎的花朵可以让植物把精力投入到新鲜的花朵中去。而不是生产种子。
我在她的牵牛花上做了一个快速示范，向她展示了正确的技巧。 关键是要拔掉整个花茎，而不仅仅是枯萎的花朵。 在下面的照片中，我只拔掉了花朵--这是 错误 死头的方式。
错！不要直接拔掉枯萎的花朵，要用剪子或手指将花茎折回，使其重新生长。
在下一张照片中，我用手指将花茎折回新长出的部分。 这就是 正确的 掐头去尾的方法 - 看到我手指下方的新芽了吗？

对！正确的掐法会去掉枯萎的花朵和花茎。 注意我手指下方的新鲜新芽。 一旦去掉枯茎，植物就会将能量导向这部分植株。
当然，如果想更快地剪掉枯枝，也可以用手剪或花剪。 我通常每周剪两到三次枯枝，或者每当我发现植物上有枯花堆积时就剪一次。
有什么剪枝技巧吗？
