How to prune kapok

The significance of pruning

The most important reason is of course that it makes its overall shape more beautiful. Because this plant grows quickly, its branches can easily become messy.

The second reason is to prevent and control pests and diseases. For example, termites may endanger the health of plants. At this time, it is necessary to cut off the damaged parts in time and spray pesticides for prevention and control so as not to endanger other parts.

Sometimes, there is such a phenomenon: when the plants bloom, which is around June, the flowers on the branches are naturally very beautiful, but the petals of the kapok flowers are flying everywhere. It seems very romantic, but it is actually a nuisance to pedestrians. So, to solve this problem, they need to be pruned. In addition, it is also possible that their branches and leaves are too dense, blocking the sunlight in the residential areas and affecting their normal lives. Of course, this applies to the plants on both sides of the road. If it was a potted plant at home, it wouldn't be so serious.

Issues to note

Pruning in different places must also follow different principles. For example, for potted plants at home, the most important thing is to make them look good. For plants along the street, the most important thing is not to disturb others and to be more convenient.

Whether it is the potted plants in the home or the trees on the roadside, they should not be over-pruned. Although the branches and leaves grow very fast, excessive growth will always affect the appearance. And more importantly, if the branches and leaves are gone, the plant cannot carry out photosynthesis and cannot accumulate nutrients, so how can it continue to survive? What's more, there might be birds nesting in the trees on the roadside.
