How to prune Phoenix bamboo

Winter pruning

Pruning is especially important in winter. Winter pruning actually means large-scale pruning before winter, removing all branches and leaves that are not growing well, are infested with insects, and have diseases. And be sure to clean them up after pruning. At this time, you must be bold in pruning.

Thinning

When the plants are too dense, the light transmittance and ventilation will deteriorate. If they are too dense for a long time, it will also cause some diseases and pests to occur, so thinning is an important step. When the plants are too dense, you can cut off all the parts that have been infested by pests and diseases, turned yellow, withered, or have poor growth.

Truncation

Many people place one or more pots of Phoenix bamboo indoors, but the indoor height is limited, and under normal maintenance, if the height is not controlled, it can grow to 6 meters high, so at this time it is necessary to artificially control its height, that is, to dwarf the plant. Dwarfing means shortening the branches that are too tall to allow side buds to grow, making the plant look more lush and dense as a whole, rather than spindly and scattered. Therefore, the branches of the plant are thinner and can be directly cut off with sharper large scissors.

modeling

With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for plants have also increased. In addition to letting plants decorate and beautify the environment, there are also certain requirements for the shape of plants. Therefore, during the cultivation process, if you find any slanting branches and leaves, you can cut them off. If you want them to be of different heights, you can also do appropriate pruning.
