Its branches and buds are different from other plants, but present lignification, so when pruning, special pruning tools should be used, such as pruning scissors, and then before using, it needs to be disinfected to prevent the plants from infecting bacteria, or disease.
When pruning it, it's better to cut it later than too early. Many people feel that it will stop growing in winter, so pruning is the best time. In fact, this view is not entirely correct. Because what can be pruned in winter is only individual tree species, not all. So can't cut too early to spring pruning best
Many people like to prune it in winter, but if the method is not appropriate, it will fail to prune. The first reason is that the tree species is not suitable, like swallow's paw, its branches will always be in a state of water loss as long as there is a wound, so after pruning, the short branches will die because of water shortage. Second, because its branches are too thin, if you prune it at this time, it will wither. Therefore, we must master the correct pruning methods, such as choosing a good weather day when pruning, and the pruning environment should be clean and dry, and choose a good pruning time, so as not to hurt it
After pruning, it should be carefully maintained, first reduce watering, wait for the wound to dry, then water it properly, and then stop fertilizing until the new leaves grow out to apply a proper amount of thin fertilizer; then a small amount of light, or the plant will be dehydrated.
