When to prune the pennywort

There is no time limit for pruning catnip. It can be pruned at any time in all four seasons of the year. You can prune it when you observe that the leaves need to be pruned. However, spring and autumn are more suitable times for pruning.

If you want to use the pruned branches of the pennywort for cuttings, you first need to cut a strong branch from a vigorously growing plant, treat the branch in a certain way, and then place it in a ventilated place to dry. After drying, you can plant it in the soil.

Pruning of petals

If you see that the plant is growing very fast and its branches and leaves tend to be too lush and vigorous, you should do some thinning at this time. In addition, you should do some beheading for the overgrown branches, determine the beheading position, and then cut off the overly long branches to keep most of the branches flat.

In addition, if you see that the catnip is growing too vigorously, it is best to behead it immediately. You can cut off its head and remove all the useless leaves on the sides. This can reduce the consumption of nutrients, prevent it from growing too tall, and make it more ornamental.

Precautions for pruning pennywort

1. The catnip is easily infected with bacteria after each pruning, so it needs to be placed in a cool place for maintenance after pruning to dry the wound, and then moved to a sunny place for cultivation. Apply some potassium fertilizer in moderation to enhance its disease resistance and promote better growth.

2. It is best not to prune the catkins on rainy days. It needs to be moved indoors for cultivation, otherwise it will easily cause root rot, which may cause the death of the entire plant, so it is best to prune it in sufficient sunlight every time.
