How to prune the hanging bamboo

First, the growth ability of the hanging bamboo plum is very strong, and it grows rapidly in a suitable growth environment. Therefore, during its growth period, attention should be paid to reasonable pruning of its plant shape according to needs, such as moderately pinching the branches and vines to disperse the plants and spread the plant shape, and appropriately pruning the branches and leaves to ensure that the plant shape is symmetrical and beautiful.

Second, you should pay attention to its growth on a daily basis, and cut off old, rotten and yellow leaves in time to prevent unhealthy leaves from affecting the growth of the plant. At the same time, it can avoid pests and diseases to a certain extent.

Third, because the stems of the hanging bamboo plum are slender and easily broken, and their vitality is not as long-lasting as the roots, as the stems grow creepingly, the vines become longer and longer, and the leaves at the base will gradually wither and turn yellow. At this time, be sure to trim off the overly long branches and leaves, otherwise all the nutrients will be taken away by the branches, which will be detrimental to the growth of new buds at the base.

Fourth, for plants of the hanging bamboo plum that have been planted for more than two years or longer, all old vines should be cleared away, and the roots should also be pruned and adjusted when repotting in the spring to promote the sprouting of new root stems and vines, thereby maintaining vigorous vitality.

Many people keep hanging bamboo plums at home because of their decorative function that cannot be ignored, so it is particularly important to prune the hanging bamboo plums properly. Because only with proper pruning and a full and beautiful plant shape can it achieve its greatest appreciation value.
