Before pruning

Does the newly bought Oncidium need pruning? This depends on the shape of the plant. If the branches of the plant grow healthily and have good light transmittance, there is no need to do too much treatment

Before pruning Oncidium, keep the basin soil dry, so as to avoid bacterial or fungal infection during pruning

Pruning method

Prepare disinfection supplies (alcohol, clean cloth), disinfect the scissors, dry them in the shade and trim them

Trim the Wenxin ear and cut off the growing flower stalk. According to the growth of the plant, cut off the thin and poor branches to avoid consuming too much nutrients

Too dense and withered branches should also be cut off. Wenxinlan has many flowers and will not bloom at the same time. When some flowers bloom, some flowers have withered or become brown, so cut off these withered flowers in time. Avoid affecting flowering

When changing pots, the rhizomes should be trimmed. Oncidium is a fleshy root. Excessive watering during growth or soil airtightness will lead to root damage and affect growth. Therefore, the roots should be trimmed in time in combination with basin changing and basin turning

In the pruning process, in order to ensure safety, you can poison the tools every time you prune

After wenxinlan pruning

Check the growth status of Oncidium regularly. It should be understood that the purpose of pruning is to cut off the branches and leaves that are poor in growth or yellow and brown, kill any diseased leaves hidden in the plant and reduce the unhealthy factors of the plant. If the plant wilts after pruning, it indicates that your pruning is excessive or improper disinfection, which should be remedied in time
