The money tree, also known as the snow iron arrow, is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant, native to the tropical grassland climate zone in the eastern part of Africa with relatively low rainfall. It was introduced to China in the 1990s. The name 'money tree' is related to the shape of its leaves, which are thick and arranged in even-numbered pinnate, resembling a string of hanging coins, thus having high ornamental value. Because of this, many friends are willing to grow money trees at home and prune them into various shapes as ornamental potted plants. Regarding the question of how to prune a money tree, here are three specific methods listed below, hoping to be helpful to all gardening friends.
1. Pinching the shoot and bud
Pruning the money tree by pinching the shoot and bud means removing the top tender branches and picking the bottom tender buds. The purpose of pinching the shoot is to inhibit the tree from growing too tall and to promote horizontal development of its branches and leaves. The purpose of pinching the bud is to remove unnecessary tender buds to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients.
2. Pruning branches
The money tree will produce many withered and old branches during its growth, so it should be pruned regularly. It is generally recommended to prune in spring because the climate and temperature at this time are suitable for plant growth, and the money tree also propagates quickly. Friends with money trees at home should pay attention and observe. If there are withered or old branches, they should be cut off in a timely manner.
3. Shaping
After pruning the branches, it will inevitably affect its ornamental value, so friends who need it can create a shape for it.
