1. Pruning in the seedling stage: When the horsetail is in the seedling stage, it is necessary to properly thin and prune the branches.Keep only the best growing main branch and a small number of other branches growing well, and cut off the remaining branches.This will concentrate nutrients on the remaining branches and help them grow better and stronger.
2. Pruning during the growth period: When the plant grows to a certain height, it is necessary to control the height and try to make it grow more luxuriantly.At this time, it can be pinched.During the growing season, remove the top bud from the top of the main branch.This removes the apical dominance of the main branch and helps other lateral branches to grow, thus making it more luxuriant.
3. Pruning in other periods: It has strong growth ability, so it is very resistant to pruning.In the process of maintenance, if there are bad branches and leaves on the plant, such as dry branches and yellow leaves, they need to be cut off in time.In addition, if there are spindly branches on the plant, they need to be cut off in time.
If you want to grow the tree purslane into an old pile, you must cultivate a strong enough main branch.As mentioned above, when it is in the seedling stage, it should be thinned to promote the growth of main branches.In addition, maintaining ventilation and letting it receive more sunshine can make it grow better and faster, and speed up its growth into old piles.
