When should I cut the leaves of Amaryllis?

1. Which month should I cut?

Amaryllis is a highly ornamental plant. It is best to prune its leaves in autumn from October to November. The climate at this time is just right, which is very conducive to recovery. The plant is also in a stage of vigorous growth and can recover quickly after pruning without affecting subsequent growth. In addition to this time period, you can also choose winter and wait for the leaves to gradually wither. At this time, the impact of pruning on the plant is reduced to a very low level and will not cause nutrient loss.

2. Pruning method

1. Yellow leaves: Metabolism under natural conditions will produce yellow leaves. When pruning, you should first observe the plant as a whole and cut off the yellow leaves. This can greatly reduce nutrient consumption without affecting the appearance. In addition to yellow leaves, some weak branches and leaves should also be pruned off to promote the sprouting of new branches.

2. Too dense branches: It has a strong germination ability and may grow many dense branches and leaves. After removing the yellow leaves, you can deal with these too dense branches and maintain the posture of the plant.

3. Leggy branches: Amaryllis may develop leggy branches, which will affect its growth and cause insufficient nutrient supply. They can be appropriately shortened.
