It is recommended that Milan be pruned in November, when winter is coming. There are two main reasons for this. One is that the weather has become cool, the air humidity has also decreased, and the bacteria will be reduced a lot. After pruning at this time, the plant is not prone to disease. Second, at this time it is in a dormant state, growth is relatively slow, after pruning, easy to set.
1. Cutting off the diseased leaves: before pruning, first observe the plant and find all the branches and leaves with poor growth, that is, the dry, soft, wilted and yellow branches and leaves. Then prepare a pair of scissors and cut off the branches and leaves from the base. In this way, it can save a lot of nutrients, which is good for overwintering and next year's growth.
2. Set pruning: in addition to cutting off the branches with poor growth, a set pruning should also be carried out at this time. The specific cutting method shall be determined according to the plant type to be grown. For example, if you want it to grow into a ball, you need to cut short the branches that are too long around the plant, and cut the branches that are too dense. Cut well, and then apply medicine to the mouth of the cut to disinfect.
