When to prune the Jade TreeThe small jade tree is mainly pruned in winter. When the jade tree is in dormancy, it needs to be pruned short, specifically from December to January of the following year. It also needs to be pruned short after the flowering period. The plant is afraid of the cold in winter, so it needs to be pruned back and thinned in winter. The pruned branches of the jade plant need to be used for cuttings. Choose a healthy branch, apply carbendazim on the wound, and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. Then you can start cuttings. The soil for cuttings can be mixed with perlite, vermiculite, and peat soil. Keep the soil moist after cutting. How to prune the branches of a small jade treePruning during dormancy : Jade trees should be pruned during dormancy, and the length of the remaining branches should be kept at around 10-25 cm. However, the length of the branches should be reasonably matched, and at the same time, the dead branches, broken branches, diseased branches, etc. on the plant should be trimmed to keep the plant beautiful. Pruning after flowering : The flowering period of the Jade Plant is in late spring and early summer. It also needs to be pruned after its flowers fade. The specific time for pruning is within two weeks after the flowers fall. Leave 4 to 10 buds when pruning. Winter thinning : From December to February of the following year, plants that have grown too high and have dense branches should be pruned back and thinned out. Dry branches, diseased branches, and injured branches should also be removed to keep the jade tree in a more natural shape.

If the plant is old, the old trunk is thick and the crown is not round, you can trim it into a stump bonsai style.

The branches underneath will gradually become hard and woody, and then many small side buds will grow.
