When to prune the bear's paw

If you want to pinch the top of the bear's paw, you generally need to start from the growth period of the young plant. If you want to prune the mature potted bear's paw, you can do it during the period of vigorous growth of the plant, which is more conducive to the recovery and growth of the plant.

The strong branches of Bear's Paw after pruning can also be used reasonably. After simple processing, they can be used for cuttings, or the strong and thick leaves can be picked for leaf cuttings.

How to prune the branches of Bear's Paw

When the young plants of Bear's Paw are about 15 cm tall, they need to be topped in time to allow more side branches to sprout. If there are side branches that grow too fast, they need to be topped several times to control the plant shape.

If the branches of a mature plant of Bear's Paw grow too many and densely, it is necessary to thin it out in time, mainly pruning away those branches and leaves that grow too vigorously and affect the beauty of the plant shape, reducing nutrient consumption, promoting the growth of weak branches, and shaping a good plant shape.

Precautions for pruning bear's paw

After pruning the Bear's Paw, you need to pay attention to maintenance issues. Avoid long-term rain and do not spray water frequently. In other seasons, expose it to full sunlight and water it thoroughly when it is dry. In winter, watering should be strictly controlled to keep the soil in the pot dry.
