Pruning and shaping of winter corals: For old plants, they should be pruned again in time before they sprout in spring. Leave 3 to 4 buds on strong side branches and only 1 to 2 buds on weak branches. When repotting, apply enough base fertilizer and trim off some weak old roots. In the future, too many new shoots that sprout should be appropriately thinned out.

Pest and disease control of silver willow: Generally, pesticides such as carbendazim, methamidophos, and kungfu should be applied for prevention in mid-March every year, once every 15 days, 2 to 3 times. After May, we should monitor closely, and treat pests and diseases as soon as possible to achieve early prevention, early detection, and early treatment.
