What to do if the Pilea coleus plant is in a sparse shape

The plant shape of Pilea coleus is scattered

Pilea coleus is a relatively beautiful foliage plant with beautiful patterns on its leaves. However, in the process of growing on the road, because the growth speed is very fast, the plants will grow very fast and the plant shape is likely to become scattered.

A sparse plant shape will affect the ornamental value of the coleus, so measures need to be taken to change this phenomenon so that the plant becomes short, strong and full.

At this time, there are two measures that can be taken for the Pile flower, one is pinching and the other is pruning.

Pilea

Pinching the tips of the coleus can actually play a certain preventive role.

When the seedlings of Pilea coleus grow to about 15 cm, they can be topped off. When pinching, remove the top of the Pile plant, which can promote the germination of axillary buds and the growth of side branches. This can prevent the Pile plant from growing too fast and too tall, and can also make the plant fuller.

However, when pinching the coleus, do not do it too early, and do not pinch too many times, so as to avoid weakening the plant.

When pinching the top part, you can use it as cuttings to propagate new plants.

Pruning of Pilea

In order to keep the shape of the plant neat, it needs to be pruned regularly. Because the Pilea coleus grows relatively fast, it needs timely pruning during its growth period. Generally, pruning can be done in early spring, cutting off the taller old branches to allow new branches to sprout.

In order to make the plant compact, you can trim the excess branches and leaves of the plant.
