Alocasia macrorrhizos is a plant with relatively strong growth ability and relatively fast growth speed. Many people will find that if they leave it alone for a period of time, it will grow wildly. They need to prune it but do not know how to prune it. In fact, pruning Alocasia macrorrhizos is very simple, you only need to do a few key points. So today, the editor will share with you a little of my own pruning experience. Let's take a look together below!
Key points for pruning Alocasia macrorrhizos
1. When pruning Alocasia macrorrhizos, first we do not look at the places where its leaves are dense, but choose to start with the yellow leaves, because this is the most obvious and the best place to start. So use scissors to cut off all the yellowing leaves, and cut them off together with the leaf stalks.
2. If the leaves are only yellowing at their edges or in local areas, we do not need to cut off the entire leaf, because if the other parts are green, that means they are good. So we only need to cut off the yellowing parts. If the yellowing area is only the leaf tip, then we only need to cut off the leaf tip and keep all the other parts.
3. During cultivation, Alocasia macrorrhizos will inevitably suffer from some pests and diseases, so diseased leaves and insect-infested leaves that have been infected by pests or diseases must be picked out one by one. First cut off all these diseased and insect-infested leaves, then use the corresponding liquid medicine and insecticide for prevention and control, and finally bury the diseased leaves etc. deep in the ground or burn them with fire.
4. Finally, carry out overall pruning. Choose leaves in areas with high leaf density and leaves of plants that have grown too tall and too large for pruning. You can use scissors to cut them off directly. Especially the top must be cut off to remove apical dominance, so that more lateral buds can sprout. Cut off all curved or drooping rhizomes or leaves as well as those with wounds, while tall and robust rhizomes or plants can be kept for replanting.
