How to prune nematanthus 'cheerio'

After the main flowering period, late spring to early summer; tip-pinch during active growth. Pinch out stem tips with your fingers or snip with clean scissors to encourage branching. After flowering, cut longer stems back by one-third, cutting just above a leaf node.

Tip-pinching as needed during growth; a fuller trim annually after flowering.

Pinch out growing tips during the growing season to promote bushiness, and cut back longer stems by one-third after the main bloom period.
