How to prune columnea 'robin'

Early spring before growth resumes; after each bloom flush through the season. Pinch or snip stem tips regularly during spring and summer to promote bushy branching. After flowers on a stem fade, cut the stem back by around half to just above a leaf node. Remove dead leaves and spent flower stems at any time.

Pinch tips throughout the growing season; trim once after each bloom cycle. Columnea 'Robin' is a compact Columnea cultivar that still benefits from pinching to stay dense and free-flowering — flowers form on new growth, so encouraging branching directly increases the bloom count. Post-bloom trimming resets stems and triggers a new wave of growth. Remove dead or yellowed leaves throughout the year.
