At this time we need to trim, so how should we trim it? Here are some pruning methods. Let's take a look at them.

Pruning reason

1. Improper maintenance of incense will lead to the phenomenon of excessive growth. After it grows, the branches and leaves of incense will be sparse, without the whole plant, it looks furry and feels fleshy. Not pruning in time after flowering also affects the ornamental, so how should we trim? When we encounter incense with many branches and strong growth, regular pruning of its branches and leaves will not affect its growth, nor will it affect its flowering, yellowing and falling leaves, thin stems and other phenomena, specific pruning can come as we like.

2. There are many branches of incense, and its twigs still grow in the horizontal direction, so we should keep the distance between the plants when planting, so that the branches and leaves can be stretched, so as not to grow too dense and affect the ornamental beauty.

Pruning method

The main results are as follows: 1. For the overgrown incense, the decapitation method is often used to cut off about 1/3 of the branches and leaves at the top of the incense, of course, not all 1/3. Combined with the actual growth of the plant, the length of its pruning is determined from an aesthetic point of view. For the cut branches and leaves, we can adhere to the principle of bad cost, cut and propagate them, prepare several small pots, and insert the branches and leaves into the pots. It will not be long before they will survive and become a new incense plant.

2. Dense growth: cut off the oblique branches of the densely growing plant, making the plant in a dense state, which is conducive to the plant to absorb more nutrients and sunlight, conducive to its growth and development.

Pruning and curing

The pruned plant is susceptible to bacterial infection. Place the trimmed plant in a cool and ventilated zone and air-dry the wound. Do not water the wound in the process, resulting in wound infection and decay. After the wound is air-dried, move it to a place with plenty of light, and apply some potassium fertilizer appropriately, which is beneficial to plant growth, thicker leaves and more green leaves.

If you encounter cloudy and rainy weather after pruning, you should move indoors in time and touch incense to avoid waterlogging. Too much water will cause its death.
