If you see this kind of branches on your money tree, cut them off immediately, otherwise it will be completely damaged in two days!

Arrange plant shape

If your money tree looks like this from a distance, you should trim it immediately.

1. Cut off all branches that grow too prominently. Make the overall shape a little more rounded. Don't feel bad, because the leaves will grow faster after you cut them off.

2. In less than a month, many new leaves grew. Cut it again at this time and cut off the branches that are growing too fast.

3. After another half a month, it grew into this shape. If you are still not satisfied, you can continue pruning. As long as the branches look out of harmony, you can boldly cut them off. Cut where you want it to grow fuller.

Pruning rotten roots

The leaves of the money tree have curled and turned yellow for a long time, and the whole thing looks droopy, which is very ugly. At this point, the roots are most likely rotten. Then you need to trim it quickly.

1. Take the money tree out of the pot first.

2. Cut off the rotten parts of the roots, apply carbendazim and let it dry for an afternoon. Make sure to place it in a cool and ventilated place.

3. Just keep one of the three branches and cut off the others. Be careful not to damage the buds. Buds are small green bumps on the bark and may also appear next to the original stem.

4. Paint the cross section. Because the money tree with its branches and leaves cut off is in the pruning stage, it is easy to rot after being soaked in water. The paint acts as a water barrier.

5. After about half a month, new branches and stems have grown from the original buds. The leaves no longer turn yellow and the growth rate is significantly accelerated.

Pruning of different plant shapes

There are several types of money trees. Pruning should be done according to different plant shapes to make it achieve the most regular and beautiful state.

1. Single plant type

This type of plant has a short stem, so once the branches grow tall, they will be particularly eye-catching.

Therefore, cut off any tall branches immediately when you see them. Keep it in a gathered state rather than scattered and sparse.

2. Braid type

Always pay attention to the state of your braids. The upper part will continue to grow, and once new branches grow out, they will be braided into the braid with the help of wire.

The branches and leaves in the middle of the braid should also be cut off. It would be very discordant to have branches and stems always growing at the top instead of emerging from a bud point below.

3. Short size

This money tree is mainly appreciated for its thick branches and several green leaves.

During its growth process, do not let the leaves grow too densely, and pay attention to removing the buds to promote the thickness of the stems.
