How to prune Wanchongshan

When to prune Wanchongshan

If you want to prune Wanchongshan, it is generally best to choose to prune it in sunny weather, which is conducive to the recovery of Wanchongshan. It is generally best to choose to prune it in the morning, so that the temperature for the rest of the day is relatively high, which is conducive to the recovery of Wanchongshan.

Wanchongshan is a succulent plant. It can be propagated by cuttings all year round, but it is best to do it after April. It is best to keep the cuttings indoors for 5-7 days and then insert them into sandy loam. If the soil is moist, no watering is required. If the soil is dry, water it after insertion. It will take about 20-30 days to take root, and the rooting will be slower in winter.

Wanchongshan pruning branches

When pruning the Wan Chong Shan, first check the overall growth status of the plant to see if there are any dry, rotten, diseased or insect-infested branches. If so, just prune them all. However, do not prune too severely, as this will reduce the ornamental value of the plant.

Wanchongshan Pruning Techniques

After pruning the Wanchongshan, you also need to apply fertilizer reasonably. Before applying fertilizer, you can loosen the soil first and then apply fertilizer. Loosening the soil can promote the melting and absorption of the fertilizer. It is better to choose liquid fertilizer for fertilization. When applying fertilizer, just apply it along the edge of the flowerpot.

Sometimes, the growth of Wanchongshan is quite dense, so the relatively thin branches and stems need to be pruned off to retain the strong parts. When pruning, cut at an angle, and it is best to cut it in one go. This can avoid the wear and tear of the scissors on the plant, so that it can recover faster and grow faster after pruning.

Wanchongshan pruning and flowering

Wanchongshan will bloom regardless of whether it is pruned or not. It can send out new branches from the pruned places. It usually blooms in summer and autumn. It is a plant that blooms at night and closes during the day, so it usually blooms at night.

Wanchongshan Pruning Precautions

After pruning, the Wanchongshan needs to be exposed to a certain amount of sunlight, which is beneficial to the healing of the plant. At the same time, after absorbing a certain amount of sunlight, it can promote its growth. It should be noted that only the morning sunlight can be exposed.
