How to prune cup of gold vine

After the main flowering flush, typically late winter to early spring. Cut the entire vine back by one-half to two-thirds after flowering, removing weak or crossing stems to a strong outward-facing bud. In frost-free climates, a harder renovation cut to 60–90 cm from the base every few years rejuvenates an old vine.

Annually after flowering; renovation prune every 3–5 years. Cup of gold vine is a robust tropical climber that needs annual pruning to keep its size in check and promote flowering. Flowers are produced on new growth, so cutting back hard after the main flush of bloom encourages a second wave and keeps the vine from becoming a tangled mass.
