Rose (Gulab) – July Pruning = More Flowers Roses benefit the most from a strong July trim. Removing dead, dry branches encourages new buds. Prune just above leaf nodes and add compost – you’ll see dramatic results in weeks.
Hibiscus – Cut Back for Fuller Bush Hibiscus grows leggy without pruning. In early July, trim ⅓ of the branches to promote bushy growth. The monsoon moisture fuels fresh leaves and massive blooms after trimming.
Bougainvillea – Less is More Bougainvillea explodes with color when you cut it hard in early monsoon. Don’t be afraid to trim back long stems – it rebounds fast and flowers profusely in a few weeks.
Tecoma (Trumpet Vine) – Tame the Wild Growth Tecoma vines get unruly after summer. July pruning helps control shape and push new flowering. Remove older shoots and let the rains feed the trimmed branches for healthy regrowth.
Chandni (Crepe Jasmine) – Encourage Thick Growth This fragrant plant needs a refresh in July. Trimming old, thin stems improves sunlight penetration and leads to dense foliage. Monsoon rains help it recover and grow stronger.
Bonus Tip – Always Use Clean Tools! Dirty pruners spread disease. Always sterilize your blades before trimming. After pruning, add compost or cow dung fertilizer to speed up the revival of your plants.
Timing is Everything – Don’t Delay! July’s early rains make it the perfect time to trim these plants. If you delay, you miss the peak growing window. Prune now, and your garden will reward you in full bloom by August.
