Why You Should Cut the Top of a Small Fortune Tree and How to Make It Sprout After CuttingA brief knowledge sharing: This article introduces why you should cut the top of a small fortune tree, how to make it sprout after cutting, and the correct care methods for growing the fortune tree. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.When growing fortune trees, people often notice that they have no heads, only a few sparse branches and leaves, which look very unique. You might be curious as to why the top of a small fortune tree is cut off. In fact, during the growth process, the branches and leaves will grow taller and taller, which might not look aesthetically pleasing. Some might also wonder how to make the fortune tree sprout after cutting it. Here's the simplest method to teach you.【I. Why You Should Cut the Top of a Fortune Tree】The fortune trees grown at home usually have their tops cut off because this plant is initially only suitable for outdoor cultivation and does not require much pruning, so the branches can grow very tall. However, the main reason for cutting the top of a fortune tree is that indoor potted fortune trees may look unattractive, and long branches are not easy to place in the home.【II. Steps and Methods for Cutting the Top of a Fortune Tree】<1. Cutting the Stem>If you want to cut the top of your fortune tree, first prepare a saw, then buy a bottle of carbendazim from a flower shop, move the fortune tree to a well-ventilated area, and cut off one-third of the trunk with the saw. Apply carbendazim to the cut surface to prevent bacterial growth, as otherwise, the entire trunk could rot and die.<2. Watering>After cutting the top, do not water the fortune tree immediately, which is the most important point after the tree has been topped. Because watering at this time will only cause the roots to rot, and even if it looks dry, do not water. You must wait for the temperature to rise and then water thoroughly to increase the survival rate of new seedlings.<3. Lighting>After the above two steps, remember to place the topped fortune tree near the edge of the balcony, ensuring it gets two hours of direct sunlight, then move it to a shady and well-ventilated area. If the temperature is above 25°C, water every 3-5 days, and usually just spray the leaves.【III. How to Make a Fortune Tree Sprout After Cutting】In addition to water, another important factor in promoting the sprouting of a fortune tree is temperature. Make sure to place the fortune tree in a warm area, and if it's winter, keep it indoors. If the indoor temperature is not enough, you can put a small bag over the fortune tree, or if it's larger, first spray a little water and then cover it.Then place the fortune tree in a warm and well-ventilated area, and remember to remove the plastic bag covering the tree for ventilation at regular intervals. Under sufficient temperature and humidity, new sprouts usually appear in about 20 days, and in 1-2 months, you'll have a brand new fortune tree. So, the method is simple; with careful care, the fortune tree can grow new branches and green leaves.
