Principle of jade plant pruning

During the dormancy period of Yushu, the branches should be kept 10-25cm short, and the dry and rotten branches should be cut off at the same time. In the growing period, the thick branches should be cut and the diseased branches should be cut off in time. After flowering, cut off the flowers and branches. Keep 4 buds in the branches. Prune the transverse and cross growing branches properly. Note that the trim should not be too severe.

I. short cut

When Yushu is in dormancy stage, it needs to be cut short, and each branch should be kept about 10-25cm. When trimming, the length should be matched to make it more beautiful. In addition, there will be some dry or rotten branches, which need to be cut.

Second, sparse shear

Spring is a period when the growth of Yushu is more vigorous. In order to avoid excessive loss of nutrients, we should cut the branches that grow more closely, that is to say, cut off the thick and weak branches. In addition, the diseased branches and some branches that affect the growth should be pruned.

3. Trimming after flower

When the plant is finished with flowers, cut off all the flowers and branches. When pruning flower branches, each branch should keep at least 4 buds, otherwise it will be difficult to grow new buds.

IV. precautions

When pruning, attention should be paid to the aesthetic degree, not to prune too seriously, nor to be lush while sparse. If there are some transverse, cross growth and excessive branches on the plant, they should be properly pruned.
