How to prune the green treasure tree

1. Time

Most of our pruning time is in the summer. Why? Because summer is its growing season. During the growing season, shorten or cut off some longer branches and thin out some dense branches. This will not only make it grow faster, but also make it grow healthier. In addition, pruning at this time is still in preparation for winter pruning. We cut off some of the new buds that are not growing well and correct their growth. In this way, winter pruning does not require much effort and the trees will not be affected.

In addition, pruning can also be done in winter. At this time, you can cut off some excess branches to reduce the nutrient consumption of the entire plant and help it survive the winter safely.

2. Methods

Before pruning, we need to disinfect the tools to prevent pathogens from infecting the plants during the pruning process.

In summer, you can cut off old, too long or too dense branches and leaves according to the specific situation of the plant, and also pay attention to the overall shape of the plant. We can cut it into a shape we like according to our preferences.

In winter, we can prune more boldly, and even keep two or three roots, completely cut off the rest, and let them grow again. Alternatively, you can cut them at the correct height and let them sprout on their own.

Although this plant has a strong growth ability, we should not use too much force when pruning it. Instead, we should be careful and attentive. Otherwise, if we accidentally damage it, it will affect its growth.
