The money tree responds well to pruning, even that which is of a cosmetic nature.
However, before performing the procedure, you should take into account one important nuance that will save the life of the “green pet”.
Firstly, it is better to do pruning in spring. March and April are considered the best months to remove excess branches.
Usually, flower growers try to give the crown of the money tree a more rounded shape. In this case, the shoots are simply shortened, making them approximately the same length.
The fat woman easily tolerates pruning. But in this case, there is a second nuance. The cut is made carefully above the leaf. But the procedure cannot be performed with scissors, otherwise there is a risk of removing the tissue. It is better to trim the money tree with a blade, making a point cut.
At the cut site, which does not necessarily need to be processed, cork tissue will later form. It will then be carefully separated either by itself or with the help of a gardener. The crown will eventually become rounded, and many new green shoots will appear.
By the way, the cut branches can be put in water. The cuttings will take root and can be transplanted into the soil.
