1. Pruning time

It will enter the vigorous growth period in summer, so the pruning time can be selected from March to April. At this time, the temperature is appropriate, and the plant is about to sprout new buds. In addition, after pruning it this season, it can grow new branches and leaves in the shortest time

2. Preparing the trimming tool

When pruning it, in addition to selecting the appropriate pruning time, we should also prepare appropriate pruning tools. Usually, gardening scissors are the best. Do not use ordinary scissors, so as not to make the blade sharp enough. When pruning, the cutting edge is not smooth and easy to be invaded by bacteria

3. Supplementary fertilizer

After cutting off the dead and old branches, it can grow new branches again soon. At this time, it needs to consume a lot of nutrients, so sufficient nutrients are very important for it. We can apply thin liquid nitrogen fertilizer for 2 to 3 days before pruning, so as to ensure that it has enough nutrition

4. Prune branches and leaves

When pruning it, it is mainly to cut off the branches with bare branches and weak growth, and then leave 3 to 4 bud holes at the base of the branches with good growth, otherwise it will affect the growth of new branches in the later stage. In addition, if it grows very well, it can be properly thinned to leave sufficient growth ground between plants, so that it can not only grow freely, but also play the role of air permeability and light transmission
