Proper pruning is crucial for disease prevention. It improves air circulation within the plant, reducing humidity around leaves, which inhibits fungal spore germination and spread. It also removes dead, diseased, or crossing branches that can harbour pathogens or create dense, damp conditions. Pruning encourages vigorous, healthy new growth which is often more resistant to disease than weak, old wood.
