When is the best season to top the Schefflera chinensis?

1. What season is it?

Schefflera needs to be pruned in time during its growth process. The season for topping is in spring, and March to April is the most suitable time because it is about to enter the most vigorous growth period. Choosing this time can make it sprout side branches, and the shape of the whole plant will be more lush. If no pruning is done, the top of the plant will be very obvious and the side branches will be difficult to grow.

2. Topping method

When the plant grows to about 15 cm, it is necessary to top it to prevent it from growing vertically. The small tender branches and buds at the top can be removed to suppress the top effect, which can promote the plant to grow horizontally and sprout new side branches. Topping is not done only once. When the plant grows to about 20-30 cm, it can be toppled a second time to stabilize the plant's growth.

3. Other pruning

1. Thinning branches: Although vigorous plant growth is a good thing, if it is messy, it still needs to be pruned. You can cut off the crossed branches, dense branches, and weak branches, retain the strong branches in the plant, remove the useless branches, and make the overall plant become sparse and dense.

2. Root pruning: When repotting, you should also prune the branches. Take the plant out of the pot, and then cut off the old and rotten roots nearby.
