The Pros and Cons of Pruning Plants

We all want our garden or landscape to look lush and green. However, maintaining a lush green garden can be a seriously difficult job, for which we often hire outdoor landscapingservices. But for the indoor plants, adding a splash of green to an otherwise mundane interior, we can ensure their growth by ourselves. In addition to regular watering your plants, introduce pruning in their care or maintenance routine.

Trees or plants are considered the oldest living organisms on the face of this world. But outside of their natural habitat, they often require additional support to maintain their health. Pruning plants is one such method that removes decaying parts of a plant for better growth. But ensure proper growth, you need to understand the ins and outs of pruning.

3 Pros and Cons of Pruning Plants

Influence growth (Pro) - Pruning can have a significantly positive influence on plant growth. Pruning techniques often differ for different plants and trees. Pruning can give the plants an immaculate shape, size, and boost growth.

Different techniques (Con) - As mentioned earlier, different trees require different pruning techniques. And you need to be especially careful with pruning fruit trees. For example, for Apple trees, you need to remove the upright branches and the ones moving inwards. Whereas, for roses, the best time to prune them is early winter or spring.

Release moisture (Pro) - Unpruned trees can often collect additional moisture within the trees. Excess moisture leads to the infestation of pests thereby rapidly deteriorating plant health. This not only negatively impacts the garden soil but also your entire outdoor landscape.

Over pruning (Con) - Over pruning or topping can lead to permanent damage to a tree. Therefore, beginners are always advised whenever they’re pruning a tree they need to keep some leaves intact. This will help the plant to create food and energy to thrive further. Additionally, over-pruning also leads to permanent disfiguration of a plant or tree.

Longevity of plant (Pro) - Pruning is one of the effective methods of ensuring the longevity of plants. Owing to the multiple benefits focusing on fruiting the trees, and removing old decaying parts of the same, the longevity of the tree increases. In the case of indoor plants, you can prune them yourself. A regular pruning routine can maintain the structure of the plant, which reduces the risk of broken limbs.

Nutritional deficiency (Con) - If you’re a beginner at pruning or gardening there is always a risk of pruning at the wrong time of the year, which further leads to severe nutritional deficiency in the trees. Plants and trees need to be pruned during the growing season, this ensures active growth. And improper pruning can also further weaken the weak limbs leading to untimely breakage and dysfunctional growth.

In summation

There are several ways you can maintain the health and growth of your garden, plants, trees and even the garden soil. Pruning is one of the most effective methods of the same. However, it is difficult to learn.

For best results, contact the nearest outdoor landscaping services and understand the ins and outs of pruning techniques for your garden!

the way you re-pot succulents feels viscerally wrong like.

I logically know the method is to chop n re-pot but like it feels like fake cartoon logic that you can just ditch the bottom half of the lil guy, stick the top half back in the dirt, and it’ll be perfectly fine

#plants #succulents #as with most queer households silum and I have a plamt corner and its mainly succulents #i'm doin plamt maintenance today which incl pruning and a bit of repotting

I've put a decidedly Halloween twist on my desk's right hand side, considering that the stores are putting all their pumpkins out. Bog Witch to Halloween Party City mode: Engage! (The shaky hand is a feature, not a bug.)

#photos #videos #halloween #spooky #autumn aesthetic #autumn vibes #it kinda goes back to being full cottagecore witch mode with the lights on #the purple light is my plants' uv light lol #(I think I always show off the right hand side of my desk. the left hand side is nice but a lot plainer.) #and because it's where I set my drink and snaks #pu pics #witchy vibes #I love my impatiens #we're a little lopsided right now because we got pruned #but I didn't have the heart to prune the stalks that had active flowering buds right now #so when those fall off we're getting trimmed back again #and I got a new little geometric terrarium for my moss #propagating my polka dot plants currently too #and my pepperomia lol #I try to hide the xbox from view but it loves to peep out from behind my monitor #xboxes can be spooky right #they have elden ring and resident evil on them! #(scary sounds)

Plant of the Day

Sunday 10 March 2024

Here the new red foliage of Photinia × fraseri 'Red Robin' (Christmas berry) is creating a dramatic effect. This evergreen shrub or small tree will tolerate pruning and so can be planted to create a hedge and is ideal for an urban environment. Clusters of creamy-white flowers appear in spring if the plant is left unpruned.

My variegated lemon tree is blooming in my greenhouse and I hand-pollinated some flowers today. Citrus trees are one of my least favorite plants to care for but somehow this one hasn't annoyed me too much yet.

#it does have the start of a scale infestation but shockingly no spider mites #it needs a good prune too the poor thing is going to struggle if it gets lemons #i hate citrus because they acquire every pest and are sneaky about stabbing you #you go to pull of a yellow leaf and it gets ya #my plants

In my story all monsters were at one time natural or human and have lost that humanity. If a scientist could turn a plant into a person (homunculi) then anyone can turn back into a person. Personhood is spread as a cure to the supernatural like a viral infection.

This comic is quasi-personal though. It is through the eyes of Ame but also includes some of my own autistic emotional worries. Of progress, discipline, embarrassment of the past self and fear that discipline is the only thing holding you together. 

#my art #original comic #my ocs #the world is bleak for my ocs because it is cathartic for me #the imagery of pruning is so .. PUNGENT to my plant kids that i even extend that imagery to my other ocs #i wound up keeping my handwriting because I felt it made it more personal #I kept the comic kinda simple.. i was feeling a certain kind of way when I made it #it feels like I only became self aware in late highschool and that I realized everyone else was having thoughts and realized I was behind.. #though vera is more of the 'fear' of a lack of control and I'd say ame is more 'embarrassment' of the lack. immortals are 'guilt' #for me.. a fear that I'll become an idiot if I don't hate myself. a fear of laziness. of cruelness #or maybe i'm just interpreting my moral conscience as self hatred (and there is another oc for that!)

You know, as a classics student I have to say that todays episode was very Daphne core. I approve.

Still gross as hell though.

#like #it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be #and being a tree for a while sounds kind of nice #self care and all that #but like. homebody *planted his phalanges* and *pruned his feet* #I feel like dr egg man: ‘what the fuck are you two talking about’ except with one guy #the magnus protocol #the magnus protocol spoilers #tmagp #tmagp spoilers

I found these abandoned on the forest floor, someone was pruning their plant and just left them. The thing is, they smell a lot like bayleaf! They also look very similar color-wise, but they're a bit more elongated. I tried to chew on one, and it tastes kinda like bayleaf but also a bit more bitter and spicy, so I'm unsure! Is there a way to be sure this is bayleaf?

I feel like ... 75% sure it's bayleaf. I guess I'll put one in my food and then see how it turns out!

#potential bayleaf #plant ID #found some plants #i found more pruned plants too but others were decorative #this could be something decorative too but #the smell of bayleaf is there!

Plant of the Day

Saturday 11 March 2023

These Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' (dogwood) are grown for the orange-red and yellow young shoots of the previous season’s growth. Notice the way they have been pruned (stooled) near ground level and also to a ‘leg’ (small main trunk) to provide extra height.
