How to trim the hanging bamboo plum? Pruning method of hanging bamboo plum

Diaozhumei is named Diaozhumei because its leaves look like bamboo leaves and there are stripes on them. Diaozhumei is a very popular indoor suspended potted plant with relatively fast growth. when we maintain it at home, we often need to prune it to make it grow better and look better.

1. Heart-picking: Diaozhu plum grows faster, so it needs to be picked out frequently during its growing period, so that it can promote the germination of lateral branches, and the overall plant type will become fuller and have higher ornamental value. To pick the heart is to cut off the top of the main branch by 1cm or 2cm, then avoid pouring water on the wound, wait for it to dry naturally, and wait for the side branch to grow out, then pick it out, so that the plum will grow full after several rounds.

2. Cut off diseased branches and leaves: no matter what plants produce diseased branches in the process of growth, or some branches that do not grow well, hanging bamboo plum is no exception. At this time, we need to be cruel and cut off all these diseased branches and weak branches. Only in this way can healthy branches get more nutrients and avoid waste of nutrients.

3. Cut off the long branches: during the growth, some branches grow better and will become very long. such branches not only affect the overall beauty, but also absorb too much nutrition, so other branches are not nutritious. So we have to cut these branches.

4. Cut off the old branches: when Diaozhumei has grown for about two years, it has become very dense, so it can be trimmed, preferably in combination with changing pots in spring, and the roots can also be trimmed by the way.

First take the hanging bamboo plum out of the basin, and then pat off the soil, check to see if there are any old or rotten roots, and if some of them are all cut off, for those older branches, they need to be cut off from the roots, so that new branches will grow out. After cutting, disinfect and dry the roots and then plant them in the basin.
