Marguerite daisy

How to cut it bare:
Cutting the marguerite daisy bare is actually very simple. Use scissors to cut about 2-4cm above the roots, leaving some leaves so it can carry out photosynthesis.
How to care for it after cutting it bare:
1. After the marguerite daisy has been cut bare, it cannot be placed in direct sunlight. It can be placed in a cool, well-ventilated spot to receive scattered light; for example, a north-facing balcony is a very good choice.
2. The amount of water must be reduced. Water it as soon as you notice the surface of the potting soil turning white; just make sure the pot does not get too dry.
3. To prevent the main stem from dying after cutting it bare, you can take the flower branches cut off during the trim and use them for cuttings; the survival rate is very high.
4. Basically, as long as the root system of the marguerite daisy has not been damaged and it can be cared for properly, after a few months the bare marguerite daisy will be able to grow back into a full pot again!

To let the kalanchoe get through summer safely, you can leave at least one pair of leaves on the kalanchoe and just cut off all the rest.

1. After the kalanchoe has been cut bare, it cannot be exposed to harsh sunlight for a short period. It is best to place it in a bright living room or similar place for care.
2. Control water appropriately and reduce the amount of watering. If you lift the pot and find it has clearly become lighter, then water it. When watering, it is best to pour slowly along the edge of the pot, and absolutely do not let water touch the leaves.

Pennywort

How to cut it bare:
In our daily lives, the most common plant to cut bare is pennywort. Even pennywort that is almost dead can grow back into a large pot in no time once it is cut bare! When cutting it bare, use scissors to cut about 1-3cm above the potting soil.
Care after cutting it bare:
1. Freshly cut-back pennywort is best placed in a spot with plenty of scattered light for 1-2 days, and then it can be placed in direct sunlight.
2. To help pennywort grow leaves faster, you can add a little nutrient solution to the water. In about a week, the pennywort will be able to grow back into a full pot again.
3. Pennywort likes water, and during its care period it absolutely must not lack water. As soon as you notice it is short of water, water it right away. It can be grown using hydroponics, or with a half-soil, half-water method.
Oxalis

Cut all the above-ground plant parts of the oxalis bare. On one hand, this can reduce water consumption and avoid rot caused by overwatering; on the other hand, it can promote the growth of new leaves.

1. After the oxalis has been cut bare, it absolutely must not be placed in direct sunlight, to avoid scorching the plant. It is best to keep it in a cool, well-ventilated spot with scattered light.
2. In summer the oxalis has already entered its dormant period, so the amount of watering must be reduced, and it is best to keep the potting soil slightly moist.

When cutting a spider plant bare, start pruning from 3-4cm above the surface of the potting soil, and just cut off all the leaves above that.
Care after cutting it bare:
1. After cutting the spider plant bare, the amount of watering must be reduced. Wait until the surface of the potting soil turns white before watering; after the spider plant begins to grow new shoots again, you can go back to normal watering for its care.
2. After the spider plant has been cut bare, it absolutely must not be placed in the sun to bake. It is best to keep it indoors in a cool, well-ventilated place, such as a north-facing balcony.
3. When cutting the spider plant bare, you can also change the potting soil at the same time and trim the roots a little, so the spider plant's roots can relax. That way, the new leaves that grow back will look even better!

when you actually put them into practice,
there are still many things to pay attention to.
