Money tree can generally be pruned during the vigorous growth period of the plant. If you want to use the pruned branches for cuttings, you need to choose branches about 5 cm long, remove the leaves at the bottom until the rhizome is exposed, and keep about 2 to 4 leaves on it. Cut the branches into the prepared substrate, and the insertion depth should be about 3 cm.

The pruning position should be at the base of the leaves. After pruning, you can apply an appropriate amount of erythromycin ointment on the cut and then place it in a ventilated environment.

Pruning during the growing season : If the branches of the money tree grow too long, the bottom branches will become too thin and weak, which is not conducive to later growth.
