Euphorbia gejin pruning method

1. Shorten

Euphorbia grandiflora has a very thick and long main stem with many branches. If it is kept at home, the height may affect the space. It can grow up to ten meters and take up too much space, so it needs to be shortened and the upper part of the main stem cut off. This can not only reduce the space occupied, but also reduce the consumption of nutrients, promote the growth of more branches, and make the plant shape more beautiful.

2. Prune the roots

For Euphorbia pulcherrima, it grows relatively fast when it is young, and it needs to be repotted even when it reaches the adult stage. The pot should be changed about every two years. In conjunction with the repotting, the root position at the bottom can be trimmed, those with poor vitality can be removed, and old and rotten roots can be dealt with. Be careful not to damage the healthy roots.

3. Notes

After pruning, you must be careful not to let the wound get wet, otherwise it will easily cause rot, which will have a great impact on later growth. In addition to applying water to this location, it is also necessary to avoid rain and place it in a rain-proof place. After pruning, it cannot be exposed to strong sunlight immediately. It can be placed under diffuse light for a period of time. After it adapts, it can be placed in the sun to grow.
