Does the fortune tree need to be pruned? It grows too fast. How to prune it?

The money tree does not need to be pruned as often as jasmine and rose, but it cannot be left unpruned for a long time. If the branches are too dense and sunlight cannot shine in, the branches will grow fewer and the trunks will be weaker. Therefore , regular pruning is still needed to avoid unnecessary nutrient loss and make the plant grow more vigorously .

Pruning time of fortune tree

The money tree is usually pruned from April to May. In the spring when the weather starts to warm up, the money tree enters its growth period and the branches and leaves of the plant begin to enter a stage of preparation. Pruning at this time can help better metabolism and allow nutrients to be better supplied to the new branches and leaves.

How to prune the fortune tree

Small fortune trees do not have many branches and leaves, and are not that lush, so when pruning, just remove some yellow leaves and branches with diseases and insect pests. If the branches grow too long, they need to be cut short, so that the whole plant is full and dwarfed, and it looks better. Branches that grow too weak can also be cut short.

The pruning time of a large fortune tree is very important. It cannot be pruned all year round. If it is pruned in winter, it is easy to get frostbite and cause damage to the plant. Therefore, it is best to choose spring and summer as the growth period. After pruning during this period, the fortune tree can grow more tender leaves and buds, and grow more lush and beautiful.
