1、 Pruning time

Fortune trees are usually pruned in winter. If the branches are found to grow wildly, they should be cut short in time and properly to avoid overgrowth. But it's just normal growth. Don't cut its branches easily at this time. Otherwise, it will affect the normal repair and be unfavorable to the growth. If you want a more beautiful plant shape during maintenance, you can trim it once in April and may in spring. During this period, the repair ability is strong and can recover quickly

2、 Pruning method

1. Preparation: it is best to use special tools when pruning to avoid infection with bacteria. In addition, we should apply fertilizer in advance and supplement nutrients, which is conducive to the recovery as soon as possible after cutting and promote the germination of new buds

2. Pruning branches: cut off the long, dense and messy branches, and leave only one or two small buds after cutting. Of course, do not keep the sick and weak branches. Cut them off to avoid further consumption of nutrients

3. Maintenance after cutting: after cutting, it should be placed in a cool and well ventilated place for maintenance. Do not expose to strong sunlight. New buds can grow in about a month
