The branches of sage are lignified, so it is recommended to use special gardening scissors to trim them, and make sure the scissors are sharp before pruning. It is best to disinfect first, which can be washed with soapy water or wiped with alcohol to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection, so as to avoid the branches from being infected with fungal diseases.

The easiest way to prune sage is to prune it directly from the bottom of the rhizome. The bottom of the rhizome is about 5 cm upward, and the gap is about 45 degrees. The pruning will be more thorough, so that it can grow new branches again.

Such a thorough pruning of sage will not cause any harm, as long as it is kept warm in spring and pruned after the frost is completely over.

If your sage has resumed growth and is not pruned in time after the warm spring, then you need to use the second method, that is, cut off too many branches and leaves at the top and shape the sage into a beautiful circle or rectangle. At this time, you can't trim too much, just cut off some branches and leaves that grow too long.

Another pruning method is to cut off some branches when the branches grow to a certain height, which is generally around 1/3. When the branches grow to about 25 ~ 30cm, the next pruning can be carried out, and then the branches grow to about 30cm, so that the branches can grow evenly and the plant type will be relatively stable. In addition, when pruning, it should be noted that there will be an enlarged circle above the growth node.

In the process of pruning sage, you must cut off all the dead branches and leaves, and don't let them stay on the branches and leaves. You should also pay attention to cleaning them, and don't leave them on the soil.

The daily maintenance of sage should pay attention to maintaining sufficient light, and it is best to have more than 6~8 hours of direct light every day, avoiding the shade, ventilated and transparent environment, and avoiding frequent watering during growth.
