Pruning can not only make the seven-leaf lotus look better, but also make the seven-leaf lotus grow better. Especially in the hot summer weather, the growth of seven-leaf lotus is very fast, cutting off some longer Laozi can make new branches and buds grow better.

III. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

Seven-leaf lotus is a kind of plant which is easy to be infected with diseases and insect pests, which is also one of the reasons for the loss of leaves. When the seven-leaf lotus leaves appear, first of all, according to the color change of its leaves, the sick part, the appearance of the larva adult to judge what disease it has or what insects it has, do not use medicine rashly.
