How to prune the branches of the fortune tree and how to deal with the fortune tree after pruning

1. How to prune the fortune tree to create branches

Pruning time: To prune the branches of the money tree, you first need to grasp the correct pruning time. The pruning time for different plants is different. The most suitable time for pruning the money tree is April. During this period, the money tree is growing vigorously, and after pruning, new branches are easier to grow.

Pruning method: The money tree cannot be pruned casually, otherwise it will easily lead to the death of the plant. Before pruning it, apply a thin layer of nitrogen fertilizer three days before, and prepare a pair of gardening shears to avoid infection of the wound. When pruning, cut off branches that grow too densely, too long, and affect the overall aesthetics of the plant, and be sure to leave three to four buds or ten centimeters long branches and leaves. The branches and leaves on the upper part of the plant should be pruned off to avoid nutrient consumption and encourage it to grow new branches faster.

2. How to deal with the money tree after pruning

After pruning the money tree, move it to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and spray some fungicide on the wound to disinfect it to prevent the wound from becoming infected and rotting, which will affect the normal growth of the plant.

Watering: Reduce or even temporarily stop watering. Because when the branches and leaves become fewer, the transpiration of the plant will be weakened, so the amount of water required will become less.

Fertilization: You can apply a little fertilizer before new branches sprout, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. After about a month, new branches will begin to grow, and at this time you can move it to the sun and maintain it normally.
