Do Hawaiian coconuts grow slowly? Get a trim and they'll grow fast and healthy!

1. Preparation before pruning

The purpose of pruning this plant is to allow it to grow better and to ensure that each leaf has enough growth space and nutrients. Therefore, before pruning, you must first figure out which part you want to prune. The pruning work should be carried out in combination with the existing growth conditions of the plant itself. Do not prune wherever you think of it.

When you start pruning, you need to choose special pruning tools, such as pruning scissors, which are best bought in the store. Be sure to choose sharper ones so that it will be easier to prune the branches and the wounds left behind will be neater and will not become unsightly in a short time after pruning. Secondly, take disinfection measures to protect the plants and your own safety.

2. The process of pruning

After the preparations are done, you can start pruning officially. When pruning, pay attention to pruning from bottom to top. If you need to prune a certain branch, you need to cut off the entire branch. When cutting, pay attention to the cutting direction being parallel to its main stem, so that the new branches and leaves growing from the wound will not grow crooked.

3. How to maintain after pruning

The purpose of pruning is to cut off the excess branches and leaves on the Hawaiian coconut, leaving better light and ventilation space for other branches and leaves, so that the whole plant can grow more healthily. Therefore, after pruning is completed, appropriate maintenance methods must be used to achieve the purpose.

Hawaiian coconuts should be avoided from direct sunlight. They prefer to grow in relatively cool places, so especially in the summer, you need to pay attention to pruning them and placing them in the shade. In addition, you need to loosen the soil more often, because its recovery and growth cannot be separated from loose, soft and nutritious soil. If conditions permit, you can add some nutritious things in addition to regular soil, such as some garden soil and sandy river soil, so that it can grow better.
