How to prune Xianrenjian? Pruning time and method

Immortal Sword Pruning Time

The Immortal Sword is the Euphorbia obesa, and it needs to be pruned many times during the cultivation period. The best time to prune is during the growth period and the flowering period. Timely pruning can avoid nutrient consumption, increase light transmittance, help the Immortal Sword grow vigorously, and prolong the flowering period.

Immortal Sword Pruning Method

1. Regular pruning: The Immortal Sword can be pruned regularly during its growing period, and some old and dead stem nodes can be cut off. This can promote uniform growth of the stem nodes and make the flowering more vigorous in the later period.

2. Pruning due to diseases and pests: Once the Immortal Sword is attacked by diseases and pests, such as stem blight or gray mold during the growth period, it will seriously affect flowering, resulting in difficulty in flowering, stunted growth, and will also infect and affect other healthy nodes. The diseased nodes should be cut off to prevent infection of other healthy nodes.

3. Pruning of old branches: Old branches that are more than five years old have little effect on the growth of Immortal Sword. You can cut these old branches off to promote the growth of new branches.

4. Pruning after flowering: The Fairy Sword Flower can bloom. After flowering, you can cut off the complete flowers and eat them. If you want to appreciate them, you can wait until the flowers fade and cut off the remaining flowers.
