1. Pruning methods for coral beads

1. Pruning fruit-bearing branches: The ornamental value of coral beads is mostly shown in their berries, so how should coral beads be pruned? The first step is to prune the fruit-bearing branches, so as to highlight the berries of the coral beads. The method is also very simple: cut off the branches and leaves at the upper end of the coral bead's fruit-bearing branches, so that its red berries become more obvious, with bright berries covering the branch tips, looking very beautiful.

2. Pruning old branches and short branches

After the coral bead's fruiting period has passed, in order to promote the growth of new branches and leaves, growers should cut the old branches of the coral bead short, and then cut off all the previously diseased branches, pest-affected branches, and relatively weak branches. In addition, if you find that the leaves of the coral bead have turned yellow, you should also cut them off.

3. Pruning dense branches and leaves: Among the pruning methods for coral beads, in addition to cutting fruit-bearing branches, old branches, and diseased branches, those branches that grow relatively densely should also be pruned appropriately, so that the plant can be more ventilated and breathable, which is beneficial to its growth.

2. How to grow coral beads?

1. Watering: Watering is very important during the care period, and too large an amount will hinder its growth. Generally, before watering, first check the degree of dryness or moisture of the soil. If the soil has turned white, that means it is time to water it. In addition, when there is dust on the leaves, you should also spray water appropriately.

2. Fertilizing: During the growth period of coral beads, fertilizer should be supplemented appropriately, applying fertilizer 2-3 times every month, and fully decomposed liquid fertilizer can be used. Do not use raw fertilizer or fertilizer with a relatively high concentration, and when fertilizing, apply a small amount; too large an amount is also unfavorable for the plant to absorb.

3. Temperature: When cultivating, the temperature should be adjusted within a suitable range. Usually, it grows best at 18-25°C. In winter, the temperature must not be too low, and should not be lower than 5°C at minimum. If you want it to safely pass through winter, the temperature should be around 10-16°C.

Growing coral beads is relatively simple. As long as you have mastered the pruning methods, you can make your coral beads even more enticing.
