Can I prune my plants, and how should I do it?

Yes, you can—and pruning is one of the best ways to keep your plants healthy, tidy, and growing well.

How to prune properly:

1. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant.

2. Remove yellow, brown, or dead leaves to improve air circulation and overall health.

3. Trim leggy or overgrown stems just above a node (the point where leaves grow). This encourages bushier, fuller growth.

4. For flowering plants, prune after blooming to avoid cutting off new buds.

5. Always prune gradually—avoid removing more than 20–30% of the plant at once.

With regular, gentle pruning, your plants will look better and grow stronger.
