How to prune Chlorophytum comosum

Pruning of Chlorophytum comosum during winter dormancy

As winter approaches, many flower lovers have reported that the Chlorophytum comosum they grow has entered a dormant period and the leaves are no longer growing. At this time, you must pay attention to promptly prune off some unhealthy branches such as diseased and insect-infested branches, overlapping branches, parallel branches, thin branches, aging branches, inward-growing branches and leggy branches. In this way, you can avoid diseases and insects from invading other healthy branches. At the same time, it also prevents nutrient solution from being wasted on some redundant branches, which helps the phalaenopsis store energy during the dormant period and prolong its life, so that it can grow better next year.

Pruning of Chlorophytum comosum during normal growth period

For the Chlorophytum comosum in its vigorous growth period, since it grows rapidly during this period, it needs to be pruned regularly according to the growth of the plant to ensure the beautiful shape of the plant. The plant shape can be corrected according to personal preference, and there are no standard regulations. If some flower lovers have the conditions but don't want to prune their flowers, they can build a frame and let the flowers grow naturally. In addition, here is a little secret. If you want to make the branches of your Chlorophytum comosum more lush and verdant, you can adopt the pinching method, that is, cut off the top of the longer branches in the middle to encourage them to grow new buds and then turn into branches. Repeating this action continuously can make the plant sprout more buds, making the plant fuller and more beautiful.
