Your plants are focal points on your property in Florida, so you'll want to keep them looking their best. To ensure your plants stay looking good, you will need to trim and prune them throughout the year. While many people believe they're the same, trimming and pruning provide different benefits to your plants. Trimming is for aesthetic appeal, and pruning is for health; both are vital in proper plant care. However, you should always hire a professional to trim and prune your plants. Professionals know when and how to properly trim and prune your plants without causing any harm to them, so they will continue to be beautiful additions to your property.
What is trimming?
Trimming your plants is mainly for aesthetic purposes, as it involves removing overgrown branches that are starting to look unkempt. It helps to maintain their natural shape for a well-kept, neat appearance. What's more, when you remove overgrown branches, you will be clearing the way for sunlight to reach other areas of your plants. Trimming can be done any time that your plants are starting to look a little messy.
Palm trees should be trimmed once or twice a year to remove broken or brown fronds, which helps to maintain their beautiful, tropical aesthetic.
What is pruning?
Pruning improves the health of your plants by removing diseased, dead, or dying branches so that they can't continue to spread to the rest of the plant. This frees up nutrients for the healthy parts of your plants, rather than wasting resources on problematic ones. However, unlike trimming, pruning needs to be done at the right time and according to best practices. Different plant types need pruning at certain times of the year; one plant may not need pruning at the same time as another. Your plants should be pruned when they're strong enough to endure this invasive process.
Always Hire a Professional to Trim & Prune Your Plants
Though it may sound simple enough, trimming and pruning your plants is anything but easy. Because of this, you should always hire a professional to trim and prune your plants. Professionals will ensure they trim your plants according to when they need it so they can continue to be beautiful additions to your property. Meanwhile, pruning can be detrimental to the health of your plants if it's done improperly or at the wrong time.
