The pruning method of swallow's palm

1. Pruning tool

Its branches and buds are different from other plants, but show Lignification, so special pruning tools, such as scissors, should be used during pruning, and then before use, they need to be disinfected to prevent plants from being infected with bacteria or diseases.

2. Pruning time

When trimming it, I'd rather cut it later than too early. Many people feel that it will stop growing in winter, so pruning is the most appropriate time. In fact, this view is not entirely correct. Because only individual tree species can be pruned in winter, not all of them. So you can't cut it too early, and it's best to trim it in spring.

3. Pruning method

Many people like to prune it in winter, but if the method is not appropriate, it will fail. One reason is that the tree species are not suitable, just like the palm of a swallow, its branches will always be dehydrated as long as they have wounds, so after pruning at this time, the short branches will die because of lack of water. Second, because its branches are too thin, if it is pruned at this time, it will let the branches die. So be sure to master the correct pruning method, such as choosing a good day when pruning, and the pruning environment should be clean and dry, and choose the right pruning time, so that it will not be hurt.

4. Maintenance after pruning

After pruning, take good care of it, first reduce watering, wait for the wound to dry, then water properly, then stop fertilizing until the new leaves grow out, and then apply the right amount of thin fertilizer; then a small amount of light, otherwise the plant will be dehydrated.
