When to prune the rich coconut palm

It is generally more appropriate to prune the palm tree when repotting it in spring. The pruned palm tree branches can also be used for cutting propagation.

Generally, the pruning method of the rich palm is to prune from bottom to top, and the incision of the leaves should be consistent and not uneven. If you need to prune a single branch, the pruning direction must be parallel to the main stem and the incision must be smooth, otherwise the new branches that grow later will deviate from the main branch, reducing the ornamental value.

Of course, in addition to disinfection, you also need to apply some thin liquid fertilizer to the potting soil to facilitate the recovery of the cut and the growth of new branches.

Things to note when pruning your rich coconut palm
