Before cutting the branches of green pineapple, first check whether the cutting branches are healthy, whether there are signs of leaf yellowing or decay, if you find some spots or discoloration of the leaves, then you must avoid selecting these branches.

When pruning, cut obliquely at about 1cm and 2cm below the green pineapple growth node, with a cut of about 45 degrees.

Cut off the branches to remove a few leaves at the bottom, leaving about 3 to 4 leaves at the bottom is enough, to avoid leaves soaked in water, otherwise the leaves will soon rot.
