Pruning helps plants grow stronger and look their best. Here are easy tips to prune like a pro.

1. Know When to Prune

Most plants benefit from pruning in early spring before new growth starts. But some flowering plants bloom better if pruned after flowering.

2. Use Sharp Tools

Clean, sharp pruning shears make clean cuts that heal faster. Dull blades can damage plants and invite disease.

3. Remove Dead or Diseased Parts

Cut off any dead, damaged, or diseased branches to keep plants healthy and prevent problems from spreading.
