1、 Pruning method

1. Pinching: when pruning colored leaf grass, we should first pay attention to pinching. Generally, it is carried out when the seedlings grow 4-6 leaves. At this time, the growth point at the top is directly removed, which can promote the sprouting of more lateral branches

2. Thinning: it grows faster in the peak season. Too lush branches and leaves will affect its growth and reduce its beauty. At this time, the weak branches should be pruned to reduce the density, so as to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption

3. Leaf picking: during the management period, no matter at which growth stage, the yellow leaves should be removed in time to avoid continuous infection and the spread of diseases and pests

4. Pruning after flowering: prune the flower branches in time after each flowering, leaving only two or three healthy branches, and cut off the surplus, so as to promote the germination of new branches and maintain its vitality

2、 Breeding method

Its reproduction is mostly carried out in two ways. First, cutting method. Cut about 10 cm of twigs from the strong mother plant for cutting, and cut off half of the upper leaves to reduce water evaporation. Before planting, water the soil once, insert the cuttings two centimeters deep, and put them in a warm and ventilated place to wait for rooting. Second, sowing method. Its seeds are small and are recommended to be mixed with soil. Put two or three seeds in each hole, cover the soil after planting and wait for germination
