1、 How to prune Portulaca oleracea

1. Pruning in seedling stage: when the horse tooth is in the seedling stage, it is necessary to properly cut the branches. Keep only one main branch with the best growth and a small number of other branches with good growth, and cut off the remaining branches. This can concentrate nutrients on the remaining branches and help them grow better and stronger

2. Pruning during growth: when the plant grows to a certain height, it is necessary to control the height and find ways to make it grow more lush. At this time, it can be pinched. In the growing season, cut off the terminal buds at the top of the main branch. This can remove the top advantage of the main branch and help other side branches grow, so as to make it more lush

3. Pruning in other periods: it has strong growth ability, so it is very resistant to pruning. In the process of maintenance, if there are branches and leaves with poor growth on the plant, such as dry branches and yellow leaves, they need to be cut off in time. In addition, if there are bare branches on the plant, they also need to be cut off in time

2、 How does Portulaca oleracea develop old piles

If you want to cultivate Portulaca oleracea into an old pile, you must cultivate strong enough main branches. As mentioned above, it should be thinned when it is in the seedling stage to promote the growth of main branches. In addition, maintaining ventilation and allowing it to receive more sunlight during maintenance can make it grow better and faster and speed up its growth into an old pile
