How to prune calla lilies

1. High requirements for pruning

It has relatively high requirements for pruning. Pruning is required at almost every stage of its growth. Generally speaking, it can be divided into regular pruning and pruning after flowering. Routine pruning mainly targets branches, leaves and roots. Pruning after flowering is mainly aimed at the flowers, but there are some overlaps. Pruning is of great significance to the growth of plants. It not only promotes its growth and flowering, but also helps its shape and makes it more convenient for us to appreciate.

2. Specific pruning methods

1. Routine pruning: Because its leaves have a relatively short lifespan, after the new leaves grow out, the old leaves should be cut off in time, otherwise they will hinder the growth of new leaves. In addition, old branches, branches with diseases and insects, and branches that are too dense and affect the ornamental value should be pruned away in a timely manner. When repotting, you also need to trim the roots. The pruning method is similar, which is to cut off the dense, rotten, and old roots.

2. Pruning after flowering: After flowering, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time. If they are not pruned, they will also consume some nutrients, which will be very detrimental to their future growth.

3. Notes

1. It is best to disinfect the scissors or knives used for pruning before use.

2. After pruning, be careful when watering and do not splash water on the wound, otherwise it will easily rot.
