How to trim Ophiopogon japonicus

When is the right time to mow Ophiopogon japonicus?

Ophiopogon japonicus is usually pruned in spring, when the plant grows rapidly, and pruning will not affect its growth and development. The reason for pruning Ophiopogon japonicus is, on the one hand, for its aesthetics, and on the other hand, proper pruning of branches and leaves regulates the growth of trees, reduces the occurrence of diseases and pests, and ensures its healthy and rapid growth.

Tips for pruning Ophiopogon japonicus

When pruning Ophiopogon japonicus, trim the edges and keep the width at about 5 cm. Ensure that the cut is vertical, the side ditch is clean and free of debris and fallen leaves, and choose pruning tools according to local conditions.

Pruning branches and leaves: The dead and diseased leaves of Ophiopogon japonicus should be pruned in time to avoid infecting other leaves and causing the death of the entire plant. Yellow-leaved plants with messy growth, long plant length, high density, and poor ventilation should be pruned at the same height.

Precautions for pruning Ophiopogon japonicus

It is better to prune Ophiopogon japonicus early rather than late. The temperature and environmental conditions in different places are different, and the time when new buds sprout is also different. Pruning too late may damage the sprouted new buds, which is extremely detrimental to the later growth and ornamental application.
