How to prune epipremnum pinnatum dragon tail

Spring or early summer. Cut stem sections just above a node with clean, sharp secateurs. Train remaining vines onto a support or moss pole rather than repeatedly cutting to manage size more sustainably.

Annually or when growth becomes unruly. Epipremnum pinnatum (Dragon Tail) benefits from occasional pruning to manage its vigorous, large-leafed growth. Trim long vines back to a node in spring to keep the plant at a manageable size or to encourage bushier growth. It climbs enthusiastically, so redirecting or shortening stems is often more useful than heavy cutting.
