Time to prune green radish

The green radish needs to be pruned when it grows to about 20 cm, because as it grows, the branches will become longer and thinner, and the branches and leaves at the bottom will gradually age and turn yellow. If it is not pruned in time, the plant will become older and older, and its growth will become weaker.

After pruning, the green ivy can promote flowering, grow new branches and leaves, and have a beautiful shape, which is also beneficial to its growth. If it is not pruned in time, it may cause poor growth.

How to prune green radish

1. Pinching: The growth of the green radish is relatively strong, so it is necessary to pinch it in the early stage of growth, so as to control its growth. When the stem grows to 20 cm, the top of the stem needs to be removed, and then wait until the branch stem grows 3-4 pairs of true leaves for the second pinching.

2. Shortening treatment: The green ivy is relatively resistant to pruning, so it needs to be pruned during its vigorous growth period. This can reduce excessive consumption of nutrients. The long branches and vines need to be cut off by about 10 cm, and each branch stem only needs to be retained at 8-10 cm.

3. Spring pruning: The main purpose of spring pruning for green radish is shaping pruning. When the stems grow too much, cut off 2-3 plants of the main stem by about 40 cm, and thin out the new buds on the branch stems. When pruning, be sure to keep the cuts at staggered heights.
