When to prune the coral

The coral reef is a succulent plant that grows fast and can be pruned in all seasons, but the best time to prune it is spring, which is when the coral reef grows vigorously. Pruning can promote its growth.

During the growth season of the coral reef, choose healthy and plump fleshy stems, cut them off and let them dry naturally for 1 to 2 days, then choose sandy soil for cuttings. Keep the soil moist after cuttings so that new roots can be easily produced.

Pruning coral branches

When the swell coral grows too high, it can only develop horizontally slowly. The specific method is: observe the swell coral, cut off the excessively high parts according to the ideal height, provide it with additional light, control watering, and stop fertilizing.

During the cultivation process, the coral reef should be pruned in time, otherwise the potted plant will lack growth space and be prone to disease. Generally, removing the overly lush plants inside the plant can make it more ornamental.

Tips for pruning corals

The pruning of expansive corals mainly focuses on sick and weak branches. Timely pruning of withered branches and sick and weak branches can reduce nutrient consumption and achieve a good shaping effect.

When the coral is growing, it is necessary to trim and prune it in time, and cut off the stems that will affect the beauty of the plant shape, so that the coral can grow better and better.

Pruning and flowering of bulging coral

After being cultivated for more than 3 years, the coral will bloom yellow red flowers and emit fragrance. After the flowers fade, they need to be pruned immediately to reduce nutrient consumption. During the flowering stage, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution should be added every 20 days to replenish nutrients for the plant.

Precautions for pruning coral

The coral itself is poisonous, so be careful when pruning it. Use sharp scissors when pruning, and quickly cut off the overgrown coral to avoid causing further damage.
