How to pinch the tip of purple bamboo plum

1. How to pinch the heart

When caring for and managing the purple bamboo plum, if it is provided with a suitable growth environment and appropriate amounts of water and fertilizer, it will grow very quickly. At this time, it is necessary to pinch the tips in time, otherwise it will grow too tall and affect the beauty. When pinching, you can just pick off the top part directly, which can effectively control the height. The nutrients in the upper part will gradually transfer to the lower part, so that the side branches can absorb the nutrients and continue to spread. In this way, the plant shape will be more three-dimensional, beautiful, and layered.

2. How to trim

In addition to pinching, branches and leaves should also be pruned. Cut off the stems and leaves that grow too long, because the leaves at the base will turn yellow if they grow too long. Cutting them off can save nutrients, and only when there are sufficient nutrients will new buds sprout. When yellow leaves are found, they should be cut off in time, otherwise the pathogen will continue to spread and affect the growth of the entire plant.

In addition, you should prune the plant every time you repot it. Cutting off old and weak stems can reduce nutrient consumption and allow new stems and roots to sprout as quickly as possible, allowing the plant to grow more vigorously.
