---

During the dormant period of the jade tree, branches should be kept in short sections of 10-25cm, and dry and rotten branches should be cut off together. Thick branches should be thinned and pruned during the growth period, and diseased branches should also be pruned in time. After flowering, cut off spent flowers and flower branches. Pay attention to retaining 4 buds on the flower branches. Horizontal and cross-growing branches on the plant should be pruned appropriately. Note that pruning should not be too severe.

1. Short cut

1. Short cuts

When the jade tree is in the dormant stage, it needs to be cut short, leaving about 10-25cm of each branch. When pruning, the length should match the length, so that it will be more beautiful. In addition, there will be some dry or rotten branches that need to be cut off as well.

2. Thinning

Spring This is the period when the jade tree grows vigorously. At this time, in order to avoid excessive loss of nutrients, the denser branches should be thinned out, that is, the dense and weak branches should be cut off. In addition, diseased branches and some branches that affect growth must be pruned.

3. Pruning after flowering

After the plant has finished blooming, all the flowers that have failed should be cut off, as well as the flower branches. When pruning flower branches, each branch must retain at least 4 buds, otherwise it will be difficult to grow new buds.

IV. Precautions

Pruning When pruning, attention should be paid to the aesthetics, and the pruning should not be too serious, nor should it be lush and sparse at the same time. If there are some horizontal, cross-growing or leggy branches on the plant, they should be pruned appropriately.
