How to prune old branches of potted green radish

1. Methods

If you find old and dead branches on the potted green ivy, you should cut them off as soon as possible, otherwise the nutrients in the potting soil will be consumed. When pruning old branches, use sterilized scissors to avoid infection after pruning. When pruning, just cut off the old branches from the base. Generally speaking, if the old branches are not pruned, it will affect the growth and germination of new branches.

Note: If the branches on the plant grow longer, denser, or are diseased, they should also be cut off. These unhealthy branches will also hinder the growth of the plant and consume the nutrients in the potting soil.

2. Maintenance after pruning

After pruning, make sure the wound is dry and do not let it come into contact with moisture. When watering, do not splash water on the pruned wound. Once it comes into contact with water, black rot may occur. If conditions permit, more disinfection should be done, only in this way can it recover faster.
