The Aukube cut - a breeze, if you know how
The winter-hardy Aukube, which only grows in mild regions of Germany in the field, impresses with its extravagant foliage. Since you almost do not dare to hurt it with the scissors or shorten the shoots ...
Cutting is possible all year round
The Aukube can be cut throughout the year, as long as there is no frost. Otherwise it could be damaged. It proves to be good cut compatible and will regenerate soon. That puts it with a quick new release.
Reasons that speak for a cut
There are several reasons why it may be useful to draw a pair of scissors in the presence of the Aukube:
Gentle clearing or radical cutting - both possible
You can light up your Aukube easily, but also radically cut it down. She tolerates the cutting into the old wood and drives again. If she has grown too big, it is enough to prune her.
Get in shape - not necessary
Basically, the Aukube does not need a cut. It has a naturally harmonious shape. If you want to shape your figure anyway, you should tackle the section between February and March. In old age no cut is necessary for this plant.
Better to use a secateurs instead of a hedge trimmer
Use a sharp and clean pruning shears to cut the egg. Cutting with a hedge trimmer is not recommended. This would cut the beautiful, large and leathery sheets. As a result, the plant does not look good anymore.
Cut to pull cuttings
A rather minor reason to cut the bucket is to pick cuttings. Thus, this plant can be easily and quickly propagated. Cut 10 to 15 cm long cuttings best in spring or summer!
Tips
As a precaution, wear gloves when cutting the Aukube and make sure that all cut off parts are disposed of and do not get in the vicinity of children or pets, because the Aukube is poisonous!
