Principles of pruning jade trees

Principles of pruning jade trees

1. Shortening

When the jade plant is in its dormant stage, it needs to be pruned back, with each branch remaining about 10-25cm. When pruning, the length should be coordinated, which will make it more beautiful. In addition, there will be some dry or rotten branches that need to be cut off.

2. Thinning

Spring is the period when jade plants grow vigorously. At this time, in order to avoid excessive loss of nutrients, the branches that grow more closely should be thinned out, that is, the dense and weak branches should be cut off. In addition, diseased branches and some branches that affect growth should be pruned away.

3. Pruning after flowering

When the plant has finished flowering, the withered flowers should be cut off, and the flower branches should also be cut off. When pruning flower branches, keep at least 4 buds on each branch, otherwise it will be difficult to grow new branches.

IV. Precautions

When pruning, you should pay attention to the aesthetics. Do not prune too severely, nor should you prune with one side being lush and the other side being sparse. If there are some horizontal, cross-growing and long branches on the plant, they should be pruned appropriately.
