Flying dragon pruning method

1. Prepare tools

Appropriate tools are the basis of pruning. Appropriate knives should be prepared in advance and sterilized to avoid infection of the wound. Because there are many small thorns on the flying dragon, it is easy to pierce the skin and get stuck in the flesh, so you should also prepare gloves to avoid pricking yourself.

2. Prune stems and leaves

When raising flying dragons at home, you must control the height of the plant and not let it grow too high, otherwise it will take up a lot of space and affect people's lives. The beauty of the plant itself cannot be guaranteed, so the small plants growing from the top need to be cut off to control the overall height. Apply carbendazim to the wound after pruning to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Also be careful not to get it wet to prevent the cut from rotting. The cut stems and leaves can be used for cuttings, so that new plants can be cultivated.

3. Prune the roots

It is necessary to repot the plant after 1-2 years of cultivation. At this time, you can take out the flying dragon and trim its roots when returning it to a new pot and new soil. Cut off the dead and old roots, leaving only healthy roots. Be careful not to accidentally damage the healthy roots.
