How to prune the peace tree

Why prune?

As Ping An grows, its shape changes and it needs to be pruned. As the peace holly grows, the lower leaves will gradually decrease and the height will increase. If it is not pruned, it will affect the appearance and will be inconvenient to place.

When pruning the peace lily, you can do a short pruning in the spring to increase the number of branches, and you need to pinch the tops off in time. When pruning, make sure the cut is smooth.

In addition, you can also cut off excess branches and leaves to shape the ideal shape, but be careful not to over-prune.

Time to prune

Basically, the peace lily can be pruned all year round. Spring and autumn are the seasons when the peace lily grows more vigorously. Pruning can make new branches sprout quickly. Pruning can also be done in summer and winter, but due to light and temperature reasons, the growth will be slower, so the growth of new branches will be slower.

Pruning methods

When pruning the peace lily in spring, the main thing is to shorten the branches. When pruning, pay attention to the fact that there should be a large distance between the cut and the buds on the stem nodes, otherwise the peace lily plant will easily wither. The cut should not be torn, and can be smoothed during pruning.

In addition, if you want a good ornamental shape, you can shape it by pruning. The height can be controlled by topping the tree, or the dense and dead branches of the peace lily can be cut off. The specific shape of the trimming can be determined according to personal preference.
