1、 Pruning time

The pruning time is generally selected after the flowering period, because after the flowering period, its demand for nutrients is not as large as that of the flowering period, and its situation has begun to be stable. Therefore, it is best to observe the time of the plant at this time to determine which branches need pruning

2、 Pruning method

When pruning it, the top bud should be removed first in order not to lose the balance of nutrients. Some branches keep growing wildly, while others will lack nutrients. Therefore, removing the terminal bud is a necessary step in pruning. The purpose of the lateral bud is to remove the excess nutrients, and then let the lateral bud be more concentrated. Finally, the residual and diseased branches should be removed. If the branches of desert rose have symptoms and cannot be treated, the diseased branches should be cut off in time to avoid infection and affect the healthy branches

3、 Precautions

It is best to use a sterilized knife for pruning, so that the incision will be smoother, which is conducive to plant recovery. Do not water after pruning. Do not water until the incision is dry in order to avoid infection of the incision and affect the health of the plant. After pruning, you can't be exposed to the sun, which is too stimulating to the plant incision. You should wait until the incision scarred before exposure to the sun. Moreover, the time of exposure to the sun can't be the same as the light during normal breeding. You should take your time, more and more day by day, until you return to normal light
