How to prune purslane and how to grow it into an old pile

1. How to prune tree purslane

1. Pruning during the seedling stage: When the horsetooth twig is in the seedling stage, the branches need to be thinned out appropriately. Keep only one main branch with the best growth and a few other branches that grow well, and cut off the rest. This will allow nutrients to concentrate on the remaining branches, helping them to grow better and stronger.

2. Pruning during the growing season: When the plant grows to a certain height, you need to control the height and find ways to make it grow more luxuriantly. At this time, it can be topped off. During the growing season, cut off the terminal buds at the top of the main branches. This can remove the apical dominance of the main branch and help other side branches grow, making it more lush.

3. Pruning at other times: It has strong growth ability, so it is very resistant to pruning. During the maintenance process, if you find that the plant has poorly growing branches and leaves, such as dry branches and yellow leaves, you need to cut them off in time. In addition, if there are long branches on the plant, they need to be cut off in time.

2. How to grow purslane into an old pile

If you want to grow the tree purslane into an old stump, you must cultivate sufficiently thick main branches. As mentioned above, thin it out when it is in the seedling stage to promote the growth of main branches. In addition, keeping it ventilated and allowing it to receive more sunlight during maintenance can make it grow better and faster, and speed up its growth into an old stump.
