How to cut down old Yushu trees

1. Time Selection

The time can be chosen in spring and autumn, and summer should be avoided because the plants are in a dormant period and have no vitality for growth, making it difficult for them to recover. In addition, the hot weather makes it easy for bacteria to breed. During spring and autumn, the temperature remains stable at around 20 degrees, which is a suitable climate for growth and recovery.

2. Prepare tools

To behead a jade plant, you need to prepare a pair of sharp scissors. You can also buy scissors specifically for beheading succulents. This will make the wound easier to heal, which is helpful for later growth. Before use, it must be disinfected to avoid infecting the plants with pathogens.

3. Begin beheading

First observe the entire plant, select the long branches at the top of the plant, and then cut them from the stem. Pay attention to the flatness of the incision, and avoid bumps, which will not only be detrimental to recovery, but also affect the appearance.

4. After Beheading

After beheading the plant, you can apply wood ash to the wound. This can inhibit bacteria and prevent further infection of the wound. After that, the number of side branches of the plant will increase and the plant shape will be fuller. The cut parts can be planted in the soil to grow new plants.
