When to prune the Jade Leaf

1. Which month should I prune?

There is no time limit for pruning Jade Plants. If you find unhealthy branches and leaves on the plant, you can prune it in time. Usually, major pruning should be done in spring as much as possible. Many flower lovers choose to do it when repotting, which can reduce damage to the plants.

2. Pruning method

In fact, pruning Jade Plant is very simple. The first things to prune are the branches and leaves that affect its growth, such as some parallel or cross-growing branches, yellow leaves, dead leaves and diseased leaves, etc. They must be pruned cleanly. Secondly, cut it into your favorite shape, such as circle, triangle, etc. The last step is to prune the roots. When repotting the plant, you need to trim off the roots that have rotted, dried up, and died.

3. Notes

1. Do not damage the stem when pruning. Be careful. The plant is very fragile and excessive pruning is not good for its growth.

2. Unhealthy leaves that are pruned should be thrown away immediately. If some strong branches and leaves are pruned, they can be propagated by cuttings.
