Jade Dragon Guanyin needs to be topping during the growth period to prevent the plant from growing too tall. If it is too long, it needs to be shortened from the root upward. Cut off all the upper parts of the plant to allow it to regrow. After the flowers fade, the remaining flowers should be removed in time to preserve nutrients for plant growth. When repotting every year, take it out and trim the roots, cutting off old and rotten roots.

1. Topping

1. Topping

The Jade Dragon Guanyin can grow very tall. If it is not controlled, it will make daily maintenance more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to properly top it during the growth period and cut off the top leaves to ensure the height of the plant.

2. Short beheading

If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it can easily lead to excessive growth, which is not only detrimental to maintenance, but also affects its appearance. Therefore, it needs to be shortened. Generally, it can be cut off when it is higher than 10-20 cm.

3. Pruning after flowering

After the flowers of Jade Dragon Guanyin fade, the remaining flowers should be removed promptly. This prevents flowers from wasting water and nutrients and is more conducive to plant growth. In addition, the overly dense areas should be trimmed so that the inside can be ventilated and lighted to reduce the possibility of disease.

4. Repot and repair roots

When repotting Jade Dragon Guanyin, you need to prune the roots appropriately. Roots that are too developed are not good either and need to be cut off appropriately. Especially old roots and rotten roots are detrimental to growth and prone to disease.
