Can all the leaves of the fortune tree be cut?

1. Can I cut it all?

All the branches and leaves of the money tree can be cut off, but only in spring. At this time, it grows vigorously and can absorb fertilizer from the soil, and will not die due to nutrient loss. But in winter, it will enter a dormant period, and it is not advisable to prune it at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to recover in the second year.

2. Maintenance after cutting

1. Light: The money tree should not be exposed to light after being completely pruned. It itself does not require much light, and it cannot photosynthesize without leaves, so it does not need much light. Place it in a cool and ventilated place to avoid sunlight affecting the growth of new buds.

2. Watering: Do not water too much after pruning. Since all the branches and leaves have been cut off, the roots do not have much demand for water. If you water too much, it will easily cause the soil in the pot to be too moist or even form water accumulation. This is not good for its growth, as long as the soil is not too dry.

3. Fertilization: In order to promote the growth of new shoots, more fertilizer should be applied. However, it is not advisable to apply fertilizer during the seedling growth period just after pruning. Once new shoots have grown, you can apply appropriate fertilizer. As the branches grow and the leaves grow, the amount of fertilizer should be increased appropriately.
