How to prune ivy-leaved scindapsus

Spring for any light shaping; cosmetic tidying any time. Snip stems back to just above a node using sharp, clean scissors. Remove individual yellow or dead leaves by cutting the full leaf stalk cleanly at the base to prevent rotting against the stem.

As needed; no set schedule necessary. Scindapsus hederaceus needs minimal pruning as a houseplant. Remove dead or yellowing leaves promptly by cutting the petiole at its base. If trailing or climbing stems grow beyond the desired length, trim them back to a node — the plant will push new growth from that point. No routine pruning schedule is required.
