1. Trim tool

Its branches and buds are different from other plants, but they are lignified. Therefore, special pruning tools, such as pruning scissors, should be used during pruning, and then they should be disinfected before use to prevent the plant from being infected with bacteria or diseases

2. Pruning timing

When trimming it, you'd rather cut it later than too early. Many people feel that it will stop growing in winter, so pruning is most appropriate at this time. In fact, this view is not completely correct. Because only individual tree species can be pruned in winter, not all. So you can't cut it too early. It's best to trim it in spring

3. Pruning method

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 are inappropriate. Like swallow's paw, its branches will always be in a state of water loss as long as there is a wound. Therefore, after pruning, the short branches will die because of water shortage. Second, because its branches are too thin, if it is trimmed at this time, the branches will die. Pruning should be done in a clean and dry day, so the pruning method should not be damaged

4. Curing after trimming

After pruning, it should be carefully maintained. First, reduce watering. After the wound is dry, water it appropriately, and then stop fertilizing until new leaves grow; Then a small amount of light, or it will dehydrate the plant
