What plants need to be pruned after the start of spring and the rainwater
Let me tell you about the plants that need to be pruned after the start of spring and the rainwater, and the related knowledge of the three kinds of flowers that need to be pruned after the rainwater festival. Next, the editor will introduce them.
After the second month of the lunar New Year, it is officially acceptable to get a haircut! No longer need to sneak around, and the second day of the second month, the Dragon raises its head, which is a traditional Chinese folk festival. On this day, remember to get a haircut, eat dumplings, and eat pork head meat, and so on, from then on, the weather will be fine and everything will be auspicious.
Moreover, according to the 24 solar terms in China, after the start of spring and the rainwater, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and flowers and plants are entering the growing period. Not only should people get their hair cut, but also plants should have their 'hair' trimmed. There is a sense of ceremony to it. Some plants, after a winter of dormancy, have become unsightly and bushy. If they are not trimmed now, they will become even uglier as they grow.
Jade Tree
Jade Tree is an evergreen plant, also known as Swallow's Palm, and it is a type of succulent plant that can be cultivated into an old stem. It has a compact and full shape, thick leaves, and is as gentle as jade, simple and elegant, very pleasing to the eye.
Jade Tree is also a very easy-to-care-for plant with super vitality and strong germination ability. In winter, when the temperature is low and relatively cold, it will enter a semi-dormant state. To prevent the loss of nutrients, it is not suitable to prune it.
But in spring, it's different. The weather is warm, and the temperature is stable. Give it a trim, cut off the excess branches and leaves. This may not be done in one go, it can be done in batches, slowly pruning to reduce nutrient consumption and increase ventilation, leading to stronger growth in spring, longer and more vigorous, increasing longevity, and prosperity for both the home and the people.
Compact Morning Glory
Compact Morning Glory is a popular ornamental flower in spring. Its flowers are neither too big nor too small, with single-petal flowers not losing their elegance, and double-petal flowers being even more luxurious and elegant. When they are fully bloomed, they look exceptionally warm and romantic, very lively.

If there is limited space at home, you can hang it up to make a flower basket or ball and hang it in front of the window. From a distance, it looks like a sea of flowers, making people stop and admire.
Compact Morning Glory is a herbaceous plant, but it is not an annual flower. It can bloom continuously for many years. As long as the temperature is above 5 degrees in winter, it will not freeze to death, but if it does not reach 15 degrees, it will enter dormancy, affected by the cold air, causing its growth rate to slow down, and it's normal to have some yellow leaves and withered branches.
After the temperature rises, it is the best time to prune, cutting off all the yellow leaves and diseased branches. Or, if you don't know how to prune, just give it a little flat haircut, then place it in a sunny spot, and pay attention to supplementing water and nutrients. In 1 to 2 months, it can fill the pot, and early pruning promotes more vigorous flowering.
Money Plant
Money Plant is an exotic species, native to Europe. In the south, many outdoor Money Plants grow like weeds, ensuring sufficient water and temperature, it can grow into a large area and is hard to eradicate, which is very troublesome.
Money Plant also likes to grow in warm environments. The Money Plant kept at home will look unsightly in winter, turning into a Mediterranean look with frequent yellow leaves. When spring is warm and flowers bloom, if you feel that your Money Plant is not growing well, you can directly give it a haircut, leaving about five centimeters of stem and leaves, placing it in a sunny spot, and in 7 to 10 days, it will grow leaves and in two months, it will fill the pot.
