When
you can see that the foliage has grown, you can start to prune.
As with
all plants, we should carry out two different types of pruning.
Shaping
pruning is something that you should do in the first couple of years
and the objective is to make the plant more leafy and lush.
This type
of pruning will stimulate the growth of buds.
This will
make the plant more productive. Generally, shaping pruning should
be carried out every two months during the first year.
We can
also prune in order to eliminate the leaves and dry parts of the plant.
Also, carrying
out this type of pruning, we can see if our plant has any type of
plague or illness.
The results
will be healthy plants that permanently flower.
Take time
to look after your plants. They can help you to relax and clear your
mind.
