Pruning season

When rubber trees are pruned, they are usually re pruned in winter, and the branches are pruned greatly, which is to cut the upright and strong branches from the base. In summer, it is generally to control the growth of lateral branches, control the strong and retain the weak to adjust the tree potential. Follow the principle of starting with strong lateral branches, heavy cutting of strong branches and light cutting of thin and weak branches, so as to accelerate the growth of plants. When pruning in summer, pay attention not to prune in rainy days, which is easy to infect the wound

Trim height

When pruning rubber trees, pay attention to the smooth incision. The height of stubble is 1-2cm, not too high or too low

When pruning, pay attention to highlight the trunk and main branches, thinly cut the over dense branches, and wipe the buds. In this way, unnecessary lateral buds can be reduced, the plant type is better, and the nutrients are more concentrated

Pruning and curing

After pruning the rubber tree, pay attention to protect the plant. First of all, there will be a lot of juice at the cutting mouth, so as to avoid excessive loss of juice and infection. Generally, it's good to apply some plant ash to the wound

The cut branches can be used for cutting propagation. It is relatively simple. Generally, keep the temperature and appropriate humidity. In a semi cloudy environment, they can take root in about half a month
