How to trim the evergreen when it grows tall

How to trim the evergreen when it grows tall

1. Pruning method

When pruning it, first prune the longest leaves and cut off two-thirds of the leaves. Don't worry about damaging them. It has strong vitality and its health will not be damaged by pruning. Secondly, cut off the old leaves next to it. These leaves will not only absorb nutrients but also affect the appearance. They need to be removed completely. Finally, cut the new leaves slightly to stimulate its growth and make it grow better in the future.

2. Maintenance after cutting

After pruning, the evergreen should be placed in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight that may cause the cut to rot. It should wait until the cut is dry and scarred before it can receive light normally. When watering, avoid the cut to avoid infection. In addition, the roots of the evergreen are fleshy and cannot tolerate waterlogging, so it should not be watered too much.

3. Notes

The branches and leaves of evergreens can easily cause human skin allergies, so you must take protective measures. Finally, use special pruning tools for pruning. Wear protective gloves when pruning to avoid branches and leaves splashing on the skin. Disinfect and wash your hands immediately after pruning. You cannot use tap water directly to water the evergreen. Instead, you should let the tap water air dry naturally for three or four days. This is because tap water contains chlorine, which can affect the health of the plant. The purpose of air drying is to release the chlorine. The released water can then be used to water the evergreen.
