Popular gardener trick turns out to be useless: here's what not to do when pruning
Even experienced gardeners sometimes do things that don't actually benefit the plants.
Many of them actively use one method, which is recommended by many bloggers. It is used during pruning of "green pets".
The eternal question: "Do I need to treat the shoots after pruning?" Amateur gardeners often use activated carbon or potassium permanganate for this.
However, many question the usefulness of the action. Experienced gardeners believe that the stems do not need to be treated with anything, they should dry out on their own.
In addition, they cannot be covered with a bag. Protecting plants from pathogenic microorganisms in this way can provoke the appearance of mold.
Special case
This rule should be abandoned when the plant secretes a lot of juice. For a certain period of time, they can give drops.
In this case, the stems should be carefully bandaged with a napkin or cotton wool for several hours. The release of juice will stop, and you can remove the "bandaging" material.
