Find out how to do the five-step procedure and help develop your garden
In addition to the amount of light and frequency of watering, cutting and removing dead or dying leaves from the plant helps promote growth and deter fungi and pests. This causes the branch to send energy to its healthier parts, as the yellow and brown parts must be discarded and cannot turn green again.
Be careful not to remove more than 20% of the entire seedling when pruning. You may need to do this in stages to avoid removing too many sheets at once.
Check out the step by step guide on how to properly trim and clean your plants:
Step 1: Gather your tools
You will need sharp scissors or pruning shears.
step 2
Look for any dry, yellowish or brown foliage. Carefully remove fallen soil as they can attract pests and create a favorable environment for mold growth.
step 3
If bacterial or leaf stains are suspected, clean the scissors blades with isopropyl alcohol between each cut.
If you are removing dead leaves from aging, lack of moisture, or sunburn spots, moisten the blades with water before trimming them – this will help prevent damage to healthy tissue.
step 4
Near the stem or on the ground, remove the completely brown or yellow parts. Make sure you don’t pull, as this can damage the good parts of the branch.
step 5
For foliage tips of the same color, remove only the affected edge or blemishes. Finally, if the soil is dry, spray the plant and wait for it to bloom again, which shouldn’t take long after this maintenance.
