Pruning Shears (Bypass Secateurs)

₹499 ₹649 — buy online from Nivah, delivered across India.

Cutting a stem with scissors or a kitchen knife crushes the tissue, and crushed tissue is an open door for rot and infection. Bypass secateurs work like scissors, with a sharpened blade passing a curved anvil, so the cut is clean and the plant seals it quickly. Hardened steel blades, a non-slip grip and a safety lock. This is the tool that makes pruning something you do confidently rather than avoid.

• Pack size: Single pair
• Used for: Clean cuts that heal fast

How to use it

• Wipe the blades with alcohol between plants so you do not spread disease.
• Cut at a slight angle just above a leaf node to encourage branching.
• Oil the pivot occasionally and keep them dry to prevent rust.
