Rubber tree pruning timeThe time for pruning rubber trees can be chosen around the Qingming Festival, which is from April to May. The specific time is determined by the growth of the plant and the local climate. The temperature in the Yangtze River Basin rises quickly, so pruning can be done in April. However, the temperature in the north is not very stable in April, so pruning can be delayed until May. How to prune rubber trees1. Tree shape There is a main trunk at the bottom of the rubber tree, just like the shape of the tree. When pruning, keep about 60 to 80 centimeters of the main trunk, and cut the top branches directly. After cutting, a lot of white juice will emerge. Be sure to disinfect the wound. Do not water it within two days after pruning, and keep it in a cool place. 2. Trim at the bottom You can also trim the bottom of the rubber tree, keeping a main trunk of about 20 cm and cutting off the upper part. This way, many new side buds will sprout from the bottom, and many small side buds will also sprout from the roots. Keep all these side buds, provide adequate water and fertilizer, and the side buds will soon grow lush. Precautions for pruning rubber treesAfter pruning the rubber tree, you must pay attention to maintenance. First of all, a lot of liquid will flow out from the cut. At this time, you must prevent this liquid from flowing too much and causing infection in other parts. Generally, some medicine will be applied to the wound. The cut branches can be used for cuttings into other pots, which is relatively simple. |
