How to trim a gold diamond

Pruning methods

In fact, there are not many pruning techniques for golden diamonds. You just need to pay attention to the yellowing or falling leaves during the breeding process, or the parts that have been eroded by pests and diseases, and they must be properly pruned to prevent the pathogens from spreading and the damage from expanding.

At the same time, it is necessary to properly prune the overly dense parts and cut off the weaker ones. This can increase the ventilation and light transmission of the plants, which will also prevent the invasion of some diseases and pests.

If the leaves are older, they should be pruned appropriately to prevent them from continuing to consume the nutrients of the plant and causing poor growth of new leaves.

All leaves that are close to the soil at the bottom can be cut off, as these leaves are prone to attracting diseases and insect pests.

Precautions

When pruning, try to use sharper knives and scissors, and it is best to disinfect them in advance. This can ensure that the cut or incision is less susceptible to bacterial infection.

If it is a diseased branch or leaf, be sure to clean it up completely after pruning to avoid infecting other branches and leaves of the plant, and also to avoid infecting other plants. If it is the early stage of insect infestation, you can carry out manual cleaning and trapping, but if the leaves are dense, you can directly cut them off and there is no need to keep them.

The golden diamond is not delicate, so you can be bold when pruning it without worrying about over-pruning and the plant not being able to recover.
