When curing, it should be pruned according to its growth. If the growth is weak and the old leaves turn yellow, cut off the yellow part to save nutrients. If it is tall and dense, cut the branches and leaves on both sides and those that hang down to the ground, so that the shape of the plants is more consistent and beautiful. If there is rotten root, take off the pot and cut off the rotten part. In addition, pay attention not to apply fertilizer immediately after cutting, and control the temperature at low temperature.

1. Pruning branches and leaves: if the growth is weak during the maintenance period, the old leaves turn yellow seriously, and the new leaves have no luster, then the yellow old leaves should be cut off in time to save nutrients. If it is very high and dense, cut off the branches and leaves on both sides, so that the whole height of the plant is the same. If some have already fallen to the ground, the branches and leaves on the ground should be cut off, so that the plant shape can be more beautiful and conducive to growth.

2. Pruning rotten roots: if root rot is found during maintenance, do not hesitate to take off the basin in time and cut off all rotten roots to avoid further infection. In addition, if it is found that the root system is too dense, it should be combed in time, disinfected and dried after cutting, and replanted after the wound is dry.

2. Precautions after cutting

1. Fertilization: do not immediately apply fertilizer to the plant just after pruning. At this time, it is weak, and the fertilizer cannot be absorbed quickly, so it is easy to burn the root. Fertilization should wait for half a month after application, late also can't be too frequent, otherwise easy to grow in vain.

2. Temperature: pay attention to the temperature after trimming. If the temperature is to be controlled in winter, the low temperature will be unfavorable for the growth recovery. It should be placed indoors to provide a warm environment, but not beside the heating.
