When it comes to using pruners to get the best results, here are some easy tips that can help you:

1. Pick the Right Pruner: There are two main types of pruners: bypass and anvil.

   • Use bypass pruners for cutting living branches.
   • Use anvil pruners for cutting dry stems.

2. Make Clean Cuts: Always try to make clean cuts. This is important because it helps the plant heal and grow better.

3. Cut at an Angle: When you cut, do it at a diagonal angle just above a bud or side branch.

   This helps the plant grow new shoots and allows water to drain properly.

4. Keep Your Pruners Maintained: Always keep your pruners sharp and clean.

   This makes a huge difference! After using them, wipe them down with alcohol to stop germs from spreading.

These simple tips can really help you become better at pruning!
