How to prune bucephalandra 'brownie ghost'

As needed year-round. Cut individual dead or deteriorating leaves cleanly at the rhizome base. To propagate, cut the rhizome into sections of at least 3–4 nodes with clean scissors or a blade and reattach each section to hardscape.

Rarely — only as dead growth appears. Bucephalandra 'Brownie Ghost' is a slow-growing aquatic rhizome plant that needs minimal pruning. Remove old, decaying, or algae-smothered leaves by cutting at the rhizome. Trim the rhizome itself only to divide the plant for propagation. Never bury the rhizome. Routine pruning is limited to dead-leaf removal.
