Chlorophytum Pruning

1. Pruning method

1. Simple pruning: Chlorophytum has a strong growth ability, so it is necessary to prune it in time during its growth period. When the plant grows withered, long and yellow leaves, they should be trimmed off with scissors. Not only will it consume nutrients, it may also infect normal leaves. When pruning, you can cut it a few centimeters away from the root, and you don't have to cut it all off.

2. Root pruning: Its roots actually need to be simply pruned, especially during the process of repotting and changing the soil. The dry and rotten roots, as well as the roots that appear to be in poor growth condition, should be cut off. However, pay attention to disinfection after root pruning.

3. Pruning and shaping: It is also important to do a good job of shaping during the maintenance period, mainly by pruning away branches and leaves that affect the appearance, such as longer leaves and crossed leaves.

2. Precautions

When doing pruning work, you should also pay attention to the weather, because if you prune in rainy weather, the pruned cuts will easily become infected. It is better to prune it on a sunny day, which will cause less harm to the plant.
