Pruning aeschynanthus marmoratus — FAQ
When should I prune aeschynanthus marmoratus?
Spring through early summer; pinch tips during the growing season. Trim trailing stems back by up to one-third after any flowering, cutting above a leaf node. Pinch soft stem tips throughout spring and summer to encourage branching and denser foliage coverage.
How often does aeschynanthus marmoratus need pruning?
Light trim once per year; pinch tips monthly during spring and summer. Aeschynanthus marmoratus (zebra basket vine) is grown mainly for its distinctively marbled foliage rather than its small, inconspicuous flowers. It still benefits from a post-bloom trim to prevent stems becoming excessively long and bare. Pinching growing tips during the growing season encourages a fuller, more attractive hanging display.
