1. Topping and pinching: When pruning the money tree, it is necessary to top and pinch the plants during the seedling stage to prevent the plants from growing too high. Generally, when the plants grow to 10 cm, you can use sterilized scissors to quickly trim 2 to 4 leaves from the top of the money tree and then place them in a semi-shaded environment for maintenance.

2. Pruning of diseased leaves: If diseased leaves appear during the growth stage of the money tree, appropriate pruning is required to promptly prune off the withered or wilted leaves. The pruning position can be the base of the leaves. After pruning is completed, apply an appropriate amount of erythromycin ointment on the cut and place it in a ventilated environment.

3. Pruning during the growing season: If the light is poor for a long time, the branches of the money tree will be too long and the branches at the bottom will be too thin. The excessively long branches need to be shortened. It is best to control the length within 5 cm. In the future, you can place it in a well-lit place when cultivating it.

4. Root pruning: When the money tree is in the flowerpot, it is best to check whether the roots are healthy. If there is rot, it needs to be pruned in time to avoid further spread of rot. In addition, old roots that have grown for many years also need to be pruned, which can promote the growth of new roots and is also very beneficial to the growth of the money tree.
