How to prune Monstera

one. Trimming Note:

1. Since most plants have only one growing point, they are not suitable for pruning. However, if a branch of the main stem on the plant grows to 3 cm thick and a bud has grown on the branch, we can prune it at this time.

2. Never use scissors for pruning. If you use scissors, the wound will be difficult to heal.

two. Way:

1. Prune the entire tree. If the cultivated plant has grown very lush, we can prepare a faster knife and cut off its leaves and branches 2 to 3 cm away from the base of the plant.

2. Truncation. Use a knife to cut off the branches that are too high. If this pruning method is used, the nutrients will be dispersed from the top to the bottom, allowing the leaves to grow denser than before and the plant shape to be more beautiful, but at the same time, attention should also be paid to the problem of excessive growth of branches, stems and leaves.

3. Plastic surgery. Sometimes the plant will grow crooked and lose its original beauty. At this time, we need to reshape it. You can use a sharper knife to cut off the extra weight-bearing side buds of the plant, and lightly tie the main stem with a cloth strip for a while to allow it to return to its upright state.

4. Trim away useless leaves. Some plants that have been growing for a long time will have withered leaves and diseased leaves. These leaves will only consume nutrients if left here and will not bring any visual enjoyment, so we must cut them off in time. Just cut these leaves directly off with a knife.

5. When repotting, you can shorten the main root slightly and then replant it, it will not grow so tall.
