If the green radish has yellow or diseased leaves, it can be pruned in winter to remove unhealthy leaves. But if the growth status is relatively good, it is best not to prune in winter, because if you prune at this time, the recovery will be relatively slow. Pruning should be done in a warm room and do not allow the wound to come into contact with water after pruning.

1. Whether pruning is needed

After entering winter, the temperature will drop significantly, and the leaves are likely to turn yellow due to frost damage, so they should be pruned as soon as they are discovered. This will not only make the plants look better, but also reduce the consumption and loss of nutrients, which is also very helpful for plant growth. If you want to prune, you should do it in a warm room. If the temperature is suitable, pruning will not hinder its growth. Generally, if it is done in a dry environment, pothos is likely to be short of water.

2. Maintenance after pruning

After pruning, do not water it immediately, let alone spray water on the plant. There are cuts on the plant, and water evaporates relatively slowly in winter, making it easy to be infected with black rot. Flower lovers who have the conditions can sprinkle some plant ash on the pruning wounds, which can greatly avoid infection.

3. Precautions

If If the plant is in relatively good growth condition and there are no yellow or diseased leaves on it, then we should try to avoid pruning in winter. The temperature at this time is low and it is difficult to recover after pruning.
