Pruning nematanthus wettsteinii — FAQ
When should I prune nematanthus wettsteinii?
Tip-pinch during active growing season; prune back after main bloom, typically late spring to early summer. Pinch growing tips throughout the growing season. After flowering, cut trailing stems back by one-third, always just above a leaf node, using clean scissors.
How often does nematanthus wettsteinii need pruning?
Tip-pinching regularly during growth; annual post-bloom trim. Nematanthus wettsteinii (trailing goldfish plant) benefits from regular tip-pinching during growth to build a dense, branching habit, and a more substantial trim after the main flowering period. Cut stems back by one-third to prevent bare leggy growth. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time.
