How to prune winter corals

Precautions for winter coral pruning

The tree shape of winter coral is very elegant and beautiful, and it is very ornamental even without pruning. If the winter coral we planted was just transplanted or planted by cuttings in the same year, it is the winter coral grown in the same year. Such winter coral plants are still relatively weak and not very strong, so the winter coral at this time cannot be trimmed or topped. The first thing to do is to let it grow healthily. When the winter corals have grown stronger, usually in the second year, we can prune them.

How to prune winter corals

So how do you prune winter corals? We can wait until the crown of the winter coral grows fuller and the fruits are ripe before we can start pruning.

The bright red fruits of winter coral are the most important ornamental part of winter coral, so after the winter coral bears fruit, the pruning of winter coral should highlight the fruits of winter coral. We can cut off the branches and leaves on the upper part of the fruit branch, so that the fruits of winter coral will be more obvious. The bright fruits are dotted on the branches, which is very beautiful. After the Spring Festival, the fruiting period of the winter coral will have passed. At this time, we can trim the old branches of the winter coral short, and cut off the diseased, insect-infested, and weaker branches. This will promote the growth of new branches and leaves. The densely growing branches should also be slightly cleared to make them more ventilated and breathable, which is conducive to the growth of winter corals.
