How to prune the thousand-year-old tree

The significance of pruning

People plant the genus Eupatorium mainly to admire its leaves, because although it has flowers, they are very small and cannot be noticed without careful observation. Therefore, its overall posture and the color and shape of its leaves become the main factors that people pay attention to. Therefore, if you want to make the overall shape of the plant more beautiful, pruning becomes a necessary process to achieve your goal. In addition, pruning is also closely related to one of its reproduction methods, which we will introduce in detail later.

Specific pruning process

The old, sick and dead branches of the plant should all be cut off, and the withered and yellowed leaves should also be cut off, leaving only some new branches, strong branches and normal leaves. In addition, pruning should be done according to its overall shape, but even for the sake of the overall shape, it is best not to keep several branches that should be cut off.

Secondly, you can also prune them to allow their side branches to grow and become stronger, which will make the crown of the plant more beautiful.

As for its reproduction methods, one of them is division. The main stem is trimmed very short, and then several branches will grow at the root. When they grow up, they can be cut from the roots and planted to become new plants. This can also be counted as construction.

Other factors that need to be controlled during pruning

Temperature: Pruning is best done at a suitable temperature, between 20 and 35 degrees. Winter is not suitable, especially when the temperature drops below ten degrees Celsius.

Light: The color of its leaves is given by light, so you can let it see more sunlight after pruning.

Watering: After pruning, you can water the plants appropriately, but make sure there is no waterlogging in the soil.
