How to prune the lucky tree (illustration of pruning methods)

1. Topping

This pruning method is also called pinching, which means that the top of the plant needs to be trimmed off. If you want to make it simpler, you can just pinch it off with your hands. Reasonable topping can prevent the branches from growing too long, and it can also help the plant grow more branches, which will also help its plant shape.

2. Wipe your head

Because it is a relatively large plant, it should be mopped during the growing season. The wiping method is also relatively easy, and requires cutting off the entire upper end of the plant. When wiping the head, don't be reluctant to do it. If the later maintenance method is proper, it will quickly recover its healthy growth.

3. Thinning

When the plant is growing, it is likely to have very dense branches. At this time, just trim off the dense parts. The purpose of doing this is to ensure better ventilation, otherwise the entire plant will have poor air permeability and will not be light-transmissive. When thinning, you should follow the direction of branch growth.

4. Plastic surgery

The lucky tree usually grows multiple side buds, which need to be shaped according to your favorite shape. The side branches on the side of the plant need to be pruned, otherwise the two ends will be too high. After pruning, the entire shape will be very beautiful. When pruning, do not use knives that are infected with bacteria. The knives must be disinfected.
