How to trim the goldfish plant

1. Purpose of pruning

Pruning is to prevent the vines from growing too fast and nutrients cannot be delivered. Pruning is necessary to ensure that nutrients are delivered to every part of the branches and leaves, so pruning is indispensable for the growth of goldfish spider plants. The purpose of pruning the goldfish spider plant is to prevent excessive growth of the branches and leaves of the plant, control the growth of the branches to a certain height, make the branches and leaves strong and powerful, and promote the branching of the plant.

2. Time for pruning

After the goldfish spider plant grows normally, you need to pay attention to management to help it grow new branches, and pinch the tops when it is ready to do so as to make it have more branches. Generally, you can pinch the tops of the plants about two months after they are established, and then you can fix the position and fill the pot with soil. After potting, when the new branches grow to a certain length, you can pinch the tops of the plants to make the branches and leaves spread out and have a drooping shape, which looks more beautiful and artistic.

3. Daily pruning

When the goldfish spider plant has not grown too tall, you can pinch the tips of each branch one by one. Doing this will not only make the plant look good, but the branches will also become thick and woody, which will help resist diseases and support the weight of the entire branch. Most importantly, this will increase the number of flowers.

4. Precautions when pruning:

1. The time of pruning should be controlled well. It should not be too early. Pruning too early will affect the growth of the root system and cause it to grow into weak seedlings. It is not too late to prune when the branches and leaves grow bigger and thicker.

2. After each pruning, the goldfish plant needs to be placed in a sunny place to prevent the new branches and leaves from growing blindly.

3. The time of pruning is mainly determined by the time of flowering and fruiting, and the most important thing is to disinfect and protect the wound after each pruning to prevent infection due to exposed wounds.
