Today I will show you how to trim different plant leaf shapes and make your plants look new and well-groomed.

I encourage you to take a good look at your plants and schedule a trimming session with them if any leaves are discolored, or tips and edges have some dry/brown/yellow spots.

Once you are done, you will see how much difference this simple task makes, and how much better and healthier your plants look.

You will learn:

  • difference between trimming and pruning;
  • what to expect after trimming;
  • what are the main plant leaf shapes;
  • how to trim various plants.

FOR TRIMMING YOU WILL NEED:

  1. Sharp Scissors!
