How to prune a fortune tree

1. Pruning time

It is best to prune the money tree in spring and summer, when it grows faster. New leaves can grow in a short time after pruning, which will not affect its appearance.

2. Pruning method

1. Yellow leaves: The money tree is not suitable to grow too tall indoors. If it grows too tall, you can shorten it appropriately to make it shorter. If yellow leaves occur, they must be removed in time, and the leaves should also be cut off after they dry up.

2. Diseased branches: Diseased branches should be cut off as soon as possible. New buds grow very slowly. If they are not cut off in time, they will compete with other branches for nutrients and may also infect the branches.

3. Weak branches: Thin and weak branches need to be cut off from the base. They have very weak germination ability and will consume unnecessary nutrients.

4. Branches: When pruning, you can cut off all the branches and leaves, as long as there are 2 buds on each branch, usually leaving a length of about 10cm.

3. Maintenance after pruning

Do not spray water on the money tree after pruning it to avoid rot. It needs to be placed in a place with bright light, or in a place where the shade of trees blocks the sun, and the amount of watering should be controlled to avoid rot.
