How to prune hypoestes phyllostachya 'confetti pink'

Throughout the growing season (spring through summer); flowers removed as soon as they emerge. Pinch out the top 1–2 cm of each stem just above a node every 2–3 weeks. In spring, cut the whole plant back by half to reinvigorate it if stems are bare at the base. Discard and replace plants that have set seed and begun to die back.
