How to prune cinnamon

First, how to trim

1. How to prune should be decided according to its growth trend. If its trunk is relatively high and the shape of the tree is not very good-looking, all the branches can be cut off in 2/3 of the trunk to let the trunk grow more new branches. If the crown is sparse, but the growth is strong, the sturdy branches can be cut off and the thin branches can be retained, so that all the branches can grow more evenly. If there are many branches and do not grow very strong, comb them carefully and keep some branches moderately to make them grow stronger.

2. It has a strong ability to sprout new branches and is very suitable for pruning. If it is a potted plant, it cannot grow freely. The top of the branch on the straight trunk should be cut off so that more branches grow at the bottom of the trunk, which can make the crown bigger and the branch stronger. If it is a relatively dense main branch, you can pull them apart a little bit, so that the tree can stretch more, so that the crown can continue to expand. If you want to turn it into a bonsai for tree stumps, you can usually trim it into a good-looking shape after five to eight years.

II. Maintenance after pruning

1. Watering

Water it thoroughly once after pruning, dry and wet when it is needed. If there is too much water, it will rot away. Do not use alkaline water to water it.

2. Fattening

Because it will keep growing flowers, so it will consume a lot of nutrients, so we should add more phosphate fertilizer to help it grow flowers. After pruning, you can add nitrogen fertilizer to it to promote the growth of branches and leaves. The concentration of fertilizer can be relatively low, but the frequency of adding fertilizer should be enough. In normal times, some organic fertilizer can be used for it. Fertilizing should be carried out together with watering, usually adding fertilizer every time the flower grows.

3. Light and temperature

It should be shaded in summer, as long as it has about 20% of the light. In order to keep growing flowers, we should give it more light in winter. Its normal long flower is within the temperature of 2 to 22 degrees. If the temperature is too hot in the heat, you can sprinkle some water on the leaves to lower the temperature and increase the humidity. If it is too cold in winter, keep it warm.
