How to prune and graft maiden hearts

1. How to trim the maiden heart

Maiden Heart is a succulent plant. If it can grow normally, it generally does not need to be pruned. However, if the plant is not growing well and yellow leaves appear, the yellow leaves need to be cut off in time to prevent them from remaining on the plant and wasting nutrients. In addition, if you want it to grow into an old stump faster, you can also cut off the leaves near the bottom of the plant in time. This can speed up its growth into an old stump.
