How to prune the lucky tree

The lucky tree symbolizes happiness and joy, and has very good meaning. It has lush branches and leaves, and grows a large number of branches every year. If you want the lucky tree to have a beautiful shape and a full crown, regular pruning and shaping is naturally necessary. The best time to prune the lucky tree is in summer and winter.

How to prune the lucky tree

1. Construction time:

The lucky tree is generally pruned in summer and winter. Summer pruning is usually done in July because the plant grows faster at this time and recovers faster after pruning. Winter pruning is done in December because the temperature is relatively low at this time. Proper pruning can reduce nutrient consumption and is also beneficial to growth in the second year, but it should not be pruned too heavily.

2. Pinching and topping:

Pinching and topping the lucky tree during its growth period is done by removing the new buds at the top of the trunk to suppress the height of the plant, thereby promoting the sprouting of more new branches. This can make the plant grow rounder and thus have a higher ornamental value.

3. Pruning branches and leaves:

In order to make the lucky tree grow more luxuriantly, during the maintenance of the plant, it is necessary to regularly prune the branches and leaves of the lucky tree, cut off the dead branches, weak branches, long branches, dense branches and other useless branches, save nutrients, and increase ventilation and air permeability between plants.

Precautions for pruning the lucky tree

1. After pruning the lucky tree, it is recommended to expose it to more sunlight. Although the lucky tree is shade-tolerant, it also needs appropriate light. It can be exposed to direct sunlight when the temperature is around 22 degrees, but reasonable shade maintenance measures must be taken when the temperature is above 25 degrees.

2. After pruning, spray fungicides on the wound in time, otherwise the wound will be infected with bacteria, which is not conducive to healing and the subsequent healthy growth of the plant. In addition, remember to add water and fertilizer to the lucky tree after pruning, and be careful not to accumulate water when watering.
