How to prune the lucky tree

Topping

Pinching, as the name suggests, means pinching off the main stem of the lucky tree or the top of the side branch by hand or cutting it off with a sharp tool. The reason for doing this is actually to prevent the branches from growing too long and to encourage them to sprout and grow at the lower end. Therefore, pinching is also called topping and removing the tip.

Wipe your head

To trim the head means to cut off the entire upper part of the plant. Generally speaking, this pruning method is for large flowers. Because large flowers grow too tall and cannot be cultivated unchanged at home, they need to be pruned by trimming the head. The same is true for the lucky tree. If the lucky tree at home grows too tall, be cruel and trim the head of the lucky tree!

If the plant is too tall, you need to prune it, otherwise it will not fit in your home.

Thinning

Thinning actually means cutting off the dense branches, removing the excessive leaves, and pinching off the excessive flowers when the flowers grow too densely. To be honest, the pruning of the lucky tree is mainly on the dense branches and leaves. If the branches of the lucky tree are too dense, it will affect its ornamental value and the ventilation conditions of the lucky tree. When thinning, follow the direction of branch extension and do it in moderation.

The one in the picture above needs to be trimmed carefully. It is messy and very unsightly.
