How to prune succulent plants

Shaping and pruning, in most cases, should be used in trees and shrubs or woody and herbaceous flowers, general succulent plants have no obvious trunk and no obvious branches. Therefore, plastic pruning is not very important, but timely and reasonable pruning can depress plant shape, promote branches, and make succulent plants grow stronger and more beautiful. at the same time, the pruned branches can also be used for the re-reproduction of succulent plants. Next, let's learn how to trim the meat with succulent man.

one

Pick the heart

By picking the heart, the succulent plants can be more branched, form more buds and blossom, and make the plant shape more compact and dwarf. Coring is at the top of the stem of a succulent plant and cutting off at the top of the leaf. Suitable for longevity flowers, bear boys, Paek Sul Hui, thunder drum, hanging money and so on.

three

Strong shear

It is often used for succulent plants whose plants are too high or whose growth is extremely weak. it is suitable for generals, Caiyun Pavilion, African overlord trees, cardinals and so on.

five

Picking buds (including removing buds)

In the growing period, too many lateral buds or new twigs were removed to reduce nutrient consumption and concentrate nutrients for the development of main buds. Buds are usually removed from the lateral buds so as not to affect the growth of the main buds. Commonly used in fish, red curly, 12 rolls, ball orchid and so on.

Root pruning

It is often carried out when succulent plants are transplanted or changed pots. Excessively long taproots or injured roots are trimmed when transplanting.
