We mainly target those weak branches, diseased branches, overly complicated branches, etc. This is done to avoid the spread of pathogens after flowering, and it can also reduce nutrient consumption and be more conducive to plant recovery. In addition, for aesthetic purposes, you can also prune according to your personal aesthetic to make the overall effect of the plant better.

However, it still needs to replenish the nutrients it consumes, but it has to be replenished through other methods. It is best to place it in a place with good lighting. In this way, it can carry out photosynthesis better and accumulate sufficient nutrients effectively.
