Time for trimming the silk

1. Pruning time

1. Spring: The best time to prune the silk plant is in spring, around April or May. At this time, the growth is relatively vigorous and it recovers quickly after pruning. It is suitable for pruning overgrown branches. When the temperature is slightly higher in the later stage, it can resume growth. Be careful not to choose the late spring, otherwise the weather will be too hot, which will cause infection in the plant wounds. In addition to the leggy branches, spring is also the time to repot the roots. At this time, the roots can be pruned in conjunction with repotting.

2. Daily life: Except for the specific spring season, if you observe yellow leaves on a daily basis, they also need to be cut off and removed. There is no specific time for this.

2. Precautions

1. Specific tools are needed for pruning. They must be sharp and disinfected to avoid infection of the wound.

2. Keep the incision smooth and move quickly to avoid any unevenness.

3. After pruning, the cut should not be exposed to water, otherwise it will easily become infected and cause problems. Put it aside to let it dry slightly. Also, avoid exposure to strong sunlight. First, expose yourself to a diffuse light environment and wait for adaptation before exposure to normal sunlight.
