Can the fortune tree be pruned in winter?

1. Whether to prune depends on the growth condition of the plant. If it grows wildly in winter, appropriate pruning can be performed, but wild growth is relatively rare.

2. If it is growing normally, do not move its branches easily. The temperature is relatively low in winter. After all, it is not its peak growth period. Even if the nutrients and soil are sufficient, its vitality is not as good as in spring and summer. If you rashly cut off its branches, the plant will not be able to sprout new branches in time, and a lot of nutrients will be consumed in the process of self-repair, which is not conducive to its growth.

3. A friend also mentioned this situation. After pruning his money tree, although it grew new leaves, due to temperature reasons and the fragility of young buds and leaves, it was frostbitten before spring. Later, the trunk of the plant began to dry and turn yellow, so it is better not to try it lightly.

4. If you really have certain requirements for the appearance of the plant, you can wait for a few months. In April and May, the temperature will rise in spring. The green plants will have the ability to repair themselves and enter a period of vigorous growth. At this time, pruning is more accurate.

5. Before you start, add nitrogen fertilizer to the pot once or twice to replenish its nutrients and prepare for the large-scale consumption later. After pruning, you need to control the moisture and do not add too much water. You can add an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer to the water.
