How to prune the branches of the fortune tree

When pruning the fortune tree, first of all, cut off all the branches and leaves that grow too densely or in a messy way, leaving only 1 to 2 small buds. When pruning, if you see sick branches, cut them all off. Leaving these sick branches will continue to consume a lot of nutrients, thus affecting the absorption of other normal branches.
