1. Pruning time1. Pruning after flowering: In the later stage of flowering of Christmas cactus, if you want to appropriately extend the flowering time, you need to prune off some of the remaining flowers at this time. When pruning, the 2-3 stem nodes under the flowers should also be cut off. 2. Prune after the flowers fade: After it finishes blooming, the withered flowers on the plant should be cut off to avoid excessive loss of nutrients. Some branches that grow too closely, are old, or are damaged by diseases and insects can also be pruned off at this time. 3. Autumn pruning: This is the time when it grows more luxuriantly, and it is mainly to promote its flowering. At this time, the weaker and thinner leaves should be pruned off. Appropriate pruning should be done during the bud formation period to remove the buds that are not growing well or are too dense. 2. PrecautionsAfter pruning, be careful not to let the cut end come into contact with water and also increase ventilation. If the environment is too hot and stuffy after pruning, the cut area is very likely to be infected and rot. |
