【One, How to prune a tall green gem】
The green gem grows relatively fast, and its leaves can grow quite high, but they do not look aesthetically pleasing and need to be pruned appropriately. Therefore, it's best not to use scissors when pruning because they can cause serious damage to the plant, making it difficult for the cut to heal, and the scissors can also cause the wound to become swollen and waterlogged, which will affect the plant's normal growth.
So the best pruning method is pinching, which involves manually removing the top seedlings of the green gem. This can effectively limit its normal growth. In addition, pruning can also be done after the green gem flowers because the flower spikes are not ornamental and keeping them can affect the plant's overall appearance, so it's best to cut them off.

Too many dense leaves are not necessarily a good thing, especially for green gems grown at home. If the leaves grow too lush, it can lead to the potting soil not being able to supply nutrients in time, and it may also look unattractive. Therefore, it's best to cut them off, as the leaves will regrow within a few days, and there is no need to worry about them dying after cutting.

After pruning the leaves of the green gem, do not water it immediately and stop fertilizing during this period. It's best to wait a few days until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering and fertilizing again. This way, it won't cause the leaves to regrow, thus avoiding the尴尬 situation where pruning is as if it wasn't done.
【Three, Green gem flower pruning branches can also be used for propagation】
Newly propagated green gem flower seedlings should be pinched when they reach a height of about 10 centimeters to increase the number of branches, making the plant more full and more valuable for appreciation. Pruning of large plants is generally determined by their growth, with long branches cut as propagation material, which is easy to root and can be inserted into clean river sand or vermiculite, or directly into sandy soil.
