How to prune the ground root

When is pruning necessary?

Newly planted seedlings: They take root, grow quickly, and have a large plant shape. Newly planted seedlings should be topped off in time to prevent them from growing upwards without leaving room for side branches to grow.

Tall mature plants: The stems of mature plants that have taken root are semi-lignified and will often bend and not stand upright if not pruned. It is necessary to prune and shorten it in time to allow it to sprout new branches.

Rooting pruning tips

When pinching young seedlings, be careful to avoid damaging the stems and just cut off a small section of the center of the plant. After cutting, cover the cut with a protective film or a plastic bag to prevent wind and corrosion.

When pruning mature plants that have taken root, the best place to do the pruning is two-thirds of the way through the plant. It neither harms the subsequent growth of the plant nor maintains the beautiful shape of the plant.
