How to prune purple bamboo plum in winter

1. Winter pruning method

1. Purple bamboo plum grows relatively slowly in winter. Only timely pruning can reduce the loss and consumption of nutrients. Usually, branches and leaves that are in poor growth condition are cut off from the base, and some cross-growing branches should also be cut off.

2. Generally, flower lovers will change the pot for it in winter. If they do, they will also need to trim its roots appropriately. That is, cut off the roots that have rotted and are growing weakly, but do not damage the healthy main roots, which will help the roots absorb nutrients better.

3. It should be noted that at this time, the pruning should be light and small, and the flower branches should not be cut off. After pruning, it is best to loosen the soil appropriately to facilitate its recovery.

2. Winter maintenance methods

1. Ventilation: Flower lovers who grow flowers indoors should pay attention to opening windows more often. The air in the growing environment should not be too closed. The indoor air should be allowed to circulate. If the temperature is low, you can open the windows less often.

2. Water: The temperature is very low at this time, and water evaporates slowly. The number of watering should be reduced reasonably, but the planting soil in the flowerpot should not be too dry.
