Can the heartleaf vine be cut off if it is too long?

1. Can it be cut off?

If the cultivated heartleaf vine grows longer, it can be pruned appropriately, and it is also necessary to prune it. If it is not pruned, it will consume nutrients in the soil and may affect the growth of the entire plant. Also, growing too long will reduce the aesthetics. If it is climbing on the wall, it must be trimmed in time, otherwise it will crawl all over the wall, which will not only fail to be ornamental but also dirty the wall.

2. Pruning method

When pruning, you should cut it appropriately short, and don't worry about the extent of pruning. Just trim it to the degree you think is beautiful. It has a strong growth ability and will recover quickly after pruning, so there is no need to worry about the plant dying due to pruning. When pruning, in addition to pruning the overgrown branches, some weak and yellow leaves should also be cut off.

3. Notes

After pruning, be careful not to let the cut come into contact with water. If the environment is not well ventilated and the cut ends come into contact with water, black rot will easily occur.
