No matter whether it's good-looking leaves or flowers, any plant can't do without pruning. The purpose of pruning is to keep the relative balance between the upper and lower parts of the plant, so that the two can be interdependent. Now many people have pocket leaves, so how should this plant be pruned? Let's study it carefully today.

I. why trim

In order to make the whole body of the mini coconut more beautiful, it needs to be pruned. Because after the growth of pocket coconuts, the lower leaves will gradually increase, and will grow higher and higher, the whole plant appears to expand. If pruning on time, it will affect the aesthetic feeling of viewing, and also make it messy, not suitable for placement.

When pruning Mini coconuts, you can cut them short in spring, which can prevent the longer branches from growing higher, on the other hand, it can make the branches stronger. In the process of pruning, the useless buds can be treated by picking. In order not to affect the plant, pruning, should be careful not to tear.

In addition, for redundant, too dry and yellow leaves and branches, you can also cut them, which can make the shape more ideal, but also note that there is a limit to pruning, if you cut too much, it will not be conducive to its growth.

The time of pruning

Basically, this kind of plant can be pruned all year round. When it is warm in spring and summer, the growth of this plant is the most vigorous. At this time, if pruning reasonably, the plant will soon have new branches to sprout. But in autumn and winter can also be pruned, but this time is not particularly adequate, the temperature is relatively low, the growth of this plant will be relatively slow, so new branches are not easy to grow.

III. precautions during trimming

When pruning this plant, pay attention to keep a large distance between the cutting mouth and the bud eye on the stem node, otherwise this plant will easily wither. When pruning, we must make sure that it is flat and not torn. We can grind it when necessary.

In addition, in order to have a better viewing effect, it can also be pruned at any time and reshaped. You can also cut off the branches and dead branches that affect the beauty of pocket coconuts, according to your own aesthetics.
