How to prune white spiderwort

1. Early Growth

In the early stages of growth, the plant grows vigorously, with the top growing better, so it needs to be topped and pinched. Pinching off the leaf buds at the top can promote the growth of other branches, prevent the branches from growing too long, promote even distribution of nutrients, and make the plant lush and full.

2. Peak growing season

During the growing season, it will grow very fast and the branches will become too dense and too long, so they need to be pruned in time to make the branches grow less messy, reduce nutrient consumption, and maintain good appearance. The cut branches should not be wasted and can be used for cuttings.

3. Winter hibernation

In winter, it will enter a dormant state and its growth will begin to stagnate, making it very suitable for pruning. Old branches, diseased branches, and weak branches can be cut off, which can not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also provide ventilation and light transmission, promoting better growth.

4. Root pruning in spring

After about a year of cultivation, the pot will be changed and repotted in spring. First, the rotten roots and diseased and insect-infested roots will be cut off, and then the old roots and long roots will be cut short. If there are rotten parts, they need to be cleaned and applied with disinfectant, and then replanted in the pot, which will also be beneficial for later growth.
