PlantPalWhat to do after a light prune
Keep care steady and watch the cut before deciding to prune again.
Before you start
Look at the cut and note which leaves and buds you kept. A cut that dries and stays firm is different from one that turns wet or soft.
How to do it
Clear cut debris and clean the tool. Keep the plant in suitable light and water according to its usual needs. A small cut does not call for extra fertilizer or wound paste.
When to stop and recheck
Check the cut over the next few days. If it softens or darkening spreads down the stem, stop pruning and check for rot. New buds can take longer when growth is slow.
