Pruning of Codiaeum variegatum is usually carried out after transplanting survival, retaining two or three leaves and pinching twice, so that more lateral branches can germinate and the plant type can be more plump.When yellow leaves are found in the usual management, the diseased branches should be cut off in time, which can save nutrients and avoid infection.In addition, when repotting, it must be combined with root pruning, so that later can better absorb water and nutrients, which is beneficial to growth.
