How to prune philodendron 'florida green'

Spring through summer during active growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to cut stems just above a node or leaf joint. Remove dead leaves by cutting the petiole flush to the main stem. Propagate any healthy cuttings (two nodes minimum) in water or moist mix.

As needed — light trimming once or twice a year. Philodendron 'Florida Green' is a vining hybrid that needs minimal pruning. Remove dead or yellowing leaves at the petiole base as they appear. If the vine becomes too long or leggy, trim stems just above a node to encourage bushier side growth. Pruning is optional, not essential for plant health.
