The cheeky way to prune leaves

1. Topping

When the thick-skinned plant grows to 10 cm, it is necessary to pinch the top of the plant and remove the branches and leaves at the top. This should be done several times to encourage it to grow new branches and leaves.

The initial pinching of the thick-skinned plant is mainly done on the main branches, the purpose is to sprout more new branches. After multiple pinching treatments, the thick-skinned plant will grow very full. In order to make it look beautiful as a whole, further pruning and leaf cutting are required.

After the thick-skinned plant has grown into shape, some dead branches, diseased branches, weak branches and dense branches need to be cut off to avoid wasting nutrients and allow it to grow lushly.
