How to trim Lei Tong to look good

Lei Tong's method of pruning branches and leaves

It is best to prune Lei Tong in spring and autumn, when the environment is more suitable for growth after pruning. Some long branches can be cut short to make it look shorter and more beautiful.

When pruning Lei Tong, you should cut back the branches that are too long until the entire plant looks shorter. At the same time, you should also thin out the branches that are too dense.

Lei Tong Pruning Tips

When the Lei Tong is left alone, its branches tend to grow long and numerous, with no plant shape at all. For branches that grow too densely or too long, you can generally use a short pruning method, cutting off most of the branches and leaving only 5-10 cm in length.

Lei Tong trims and grows fast

Because Lei Tong has strong vitality, strong germination ability and rapid growth, the plant can easily grow dense branches and leaves. Through thinning, the plant's ventilation and light transmission are enhanced, which is conducive to the plant's vigorous growth and more beautiful shape.

Tips for trimming Lei Tong

After pruning the overgrown part of the Lei Tong, there will be a cut on the plant. The Lei Tong should be placed in a ventilated and semi-shaded environment to allow the cut to heal quickly. During watering and fertilizing, avoid splashing liquid on the cut, otherwise it is easy to cause rot at the cut, which will breed bacteria and insect pests.
