What to do if the lucky tree grows too tall

1. Use pruning to control height

1. Topping

Use your hands or scissors to pinch off or cut off the top of the main stem or branches of the plant to control the growth of the top of the plant and allow the lower branches to grow. This will grow more side branches, ultimately increasing the number of flower heads and making the plant shape more beautiful. This process is called pinching, or topping, or removing the tips.

2. Wipe your head

If the lucky tree grows too tall, it will affect indoor cultivation, so proper pruning or trimming is needed at this time. The best time to trim the top of the plant is in spring when new branches have just sprouted. At this time, the upper part of the plant can be completely cut off. This process is called trimming the top. In addition, you need to be careful when wiping the head. Don't be too casual. Always pay attention to the height of the lucky tree. If it is really too high, you can wipe the head. If it is not particularly high, it is not suitable to do it, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

3. Thinning

When thinning it, the main targets are twigs, flowers, buds and leaves. When it grows too tall, it will not only affect its appearance, but also reduce its ventilation and light transmission. Therefore, thinning at this time is the best choice to control the height. When thinning, remove excess leaves or pinch off the flowers where it grows too densely, thereby promoting the germination of side branches. This will allow it to grow more flower heads, making the tree shape and flower color of the lucky tree better looking.

2. Precautions

1. When pruning, always pay attention to its growth height. If it is not particularly high, do not over-prune, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant.

2. After pruning, you should frequently turn the soil and apply fertilizer to ensure that it grows faster.
