When

The plan of a year lies in spring. Early spring is the period of plant germination and growth, and yiyelan is no exception. At this time, prune the monophyllum. On the one hand, cut off some aging stems and leaves to make the plant shape more beautiful; On the other hand, cutting off dead leaves can save some nutrients and promote the growth of new leaves. At this time, the pruning can be carried out in combination with changing the basin. Pay attention to changing part of the nutrient soil when changing the basin, add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, and put it in a cool place for curing for a period of time

How to trim

The main purpose of pruning monophyllum is to adjust the growth balance between branches and leaves, blossom and bear fruit, improve ventilation conditions and promote the growth of branches and leaves to be more robust

There are mainly two kinds of pruning, one is sparse pruning and the other is leaf picking, but they are the same in essence

Let's take a look at sparse cutting. The leafy orchid that has been potted for 3 ~ 4 years at home usually has dense branches and leaves. The purpose of thinning is mainly to cut off the diseased branches, delicate branches and dead branches, so as to enhance the ventilation, which is conducive to the light transmission of internal leaves and enhance the growth of plants. Thinning is generally carried out in the spring of each year

Another method is to pick leaves, remove old leaves and yellow leaves in time to promote the germination of new leaves. But be careful to cut only the old leaves and keep the new ones. When pruning, pay attention to the weight, not too hard. Because the germination of leaves requires the old leaves to provide nutrients, the process of leaf reduction is difficult to carry out
