How to trim the lucky tree

1. Time for pruning

This type of plant only blooms once in its lifetime, but the flowering period is very long, about three or four months. When the flowers are blooming, no pruning is required. On the contrary, pruning will have a negative impact on the health of the plant. The only use of plants that have bloomed is to be used as mother plants to grow new plants, so the time to prune is after the flowering period.

2. Trimming length

When pruning this type of plant, you only need to cut off the part of the flower stem that has bloomed together with the flower head. There is no need to prune the leaves and other parts. These parts still need to maintain their own functions and prepare for the plant to cultivate seedlings.

3. Things to note after pruning

There are a few things to note after pruning the plants. The first is to avoid watering the pruned areas when watering the plants to avoid rotting the wounds. Secondly, do not water too much. Do not allow water to accumulate in the pot, as this will affect the health of the plant's roots. The last point is the watering time. You don’t need to water the plant too much. You can water it as usual. However, you need to water it more when the weather is hot because the plant has wounds after pruning, and the water will evaporate very quickly when the weather is hot.
