How to prune the bird's nest

When to prune the bird's nest

When pruning the Swallow's Palm, it is best to do it during its growing season, that is, in spring and autumn. Avoid doing it in the cold winter and midsummer. The temperature in winter is low and it is difficult for the wounds to recover after pruning. In summer, it is very hot and it is easy to be invaded by pathogens after pruning.

The cuttings of the Kusanagi palm are carried out in spring and autumn. Cut off the top branches with a length of 7-10 cm, dry them in a cool place for a day, and insert them into wet sand after the wounds are slightly dry. The cuttings will take root about 3 weeks after the cuttings, and the survival rate is extremely high.

Pruning branches and leaves of Crassula

When pruning the Kusanagi plant, you should prune off weak branches, crossed branches, and dense branches. Otherwise, the ornamental value of the plant will decrease. The branches of the plant infected with pests and diseases should also be pruned as soon as possible and burned in a concentrated manner.

When pruning the bird's nest palm, try to use professional pruning tools, and disinfect the tools before pruning. Also, disinfect the wound after pruning to help it grow better.

Tips for pruning Crassula

When pruning the Cranesbill palm, some leaves can be removed by hand and the branches can be pruned with special scissors. This can increase the ornamental value of the plant and also cut off branches and leaves with poor momentum to prevent the spread of diseases.

When pruning the Kusanagara, remove poorly growing branches and yellow and diseased leaves to ensure normal growth space for the main branches. Do not water it immediately after pruning. Keep it in a cool and ventilated place for a few days. After the wounds are dry, water and fertilize it in small amounts so that it will grow vigorously next year.
