Green Heart Lifestyle Releases New Information on Techniques for Pruning Houseplants

Green Hearts Lifestyle, the Niagara Falls, NY based gardening tools manufacturer has released new information on the different ways of pruning houseplants as a part of their 2017 awareness campaign on gardening and garden tools.

According to Aad Hermann, President of Green Heart Lifestyle, “Pruning isn’t as big a worry for indoor gardeners as compared to outdoor gardeners. But the right pair of pruning shears coupled with correct timing and technique can help improve the health and appearance of indoor plants as well.”

Pruning can be used to cut away dead leaves or branches to keep the plant presentable. It helps in encouraging a more balanced growth habit in the plant as well as keep runaway plants from taking over the entire garden area.

Houseplants should typically be pruned in the beginning of the growth season, which is late winter for many houseplants, or just after they have finished flowering. It's usually not a good idea to prune plants right before they bloom because that would mean removing the unopened buds.

Woody plants require regular, year long pruning to remove dead leaves and branches. These should generally be cut off as close to the stem as possible to maintain the appearance of the plant, but care should be taken that it is not cut off at the stem itself. The bypass pruning shears launched by Green Heart is perfectly suited to provide the sharp cuts that are required to maintain indoor plants.

When pruning to encourage healthy, balanced growth the gardener should make judicious cuts to encourage the kind of growth habit that is desired.

However, all of this is possible only with the help of reliable pruning shears equipt with strong carbon blades. To learn more about the process of pruning and choosing the right garden scissors as per one's requirements, visit Green Heart Lifestyle’s official storefront at Amazon.
