1. Pruning Method

1. Pinching: First of all, you should pay attention to the pinching treatment when pruning the colored leaf grass.Generally, it is carried out when the seedlings grow 4-6 leaves, and then the growing point at the top is directly removed to promote the germination of more lateral branches.

2, thinning: In its growth season when the growth is relatively fast, too luxuriant branches and leaves will affect the growth, but also reduce the beauty.At this time, the weak branches should be pruned and the density should be reduced, so as to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption.

3. Picking off leaves: During the management period, no matter at which growth stage, the yellowing leaves should be picked off in time to avoid continuous infection and the spread of diseases and insect pests.

4. Pruning after flowering: After each flowering, the flowering branches should be pruned in time, leaving only two or three sections of healthy branches, and the redundant branches should be cut off, so as to promote the germination of new branches and maintain their vitality.

2. Propagation Method

Its reproduction is mostly carried out in two ways.One is cutting method.Cut about 10 centimeters of twigs from strong mother plants as cuttings, and cut half of the leaves on them to reduce water evaporation.Before cutting, water the soil thoroughly once, insert the cuttings into two centimeters deep, and put them in a warm and ventilated place to wait for rooting.The second is the sowing method.Its seeds are small and are recommended to be mixed with soil.Put two or three seeds in each hole, cover the soil after planting and wait for germination.
