Cycas has a strong vitality, and usually has the opportunity to sprout new buds and grow new leaves twice a year, so it is relatively resistant to pruning. Even if we sometimes cut off all its leaves, as long as its roots are healthy and intact, it can still germinate smoothly and grow new leaves as scheduled. And proper shaping and pruning can stimulate the germination and regrowth of plants.
Cycas usually germinate new leaves twice a year, once in spring, summer, May and once in autumn at 5438+ 10. As long as we can seize these two opportunities for scientific conservation, we can make it sprout and grow leaves as scheduled. As for when it is appropriate for Cycas to cut leaves, it is generally recommended to cut leaves when new buds have grown but new leaves have not yet spread, and to cut off the old leaves of the plant.
When cutting leaves for cycads, it is usually the most suitable time when new buds are spit out and new leaves are about to unfold. At this time, because the new buds of Cycas cycas grow faster, it is necessary to concentrate water and nutrients to have enough energy for the new leaves to unfold. In this case, if there are more old leaves, it will inevitably consume a lot of nutrients and water, which may lead to insufficient nutrients and water for new buds to extract new leaves.
