Pruning philodendron longilobatum — FAQ
When should I prune philodendron longilobatum?
Spring or early summer for trimming; any time for dead leaf removal. Cut cleanly just above a node using sterilised scissors. This encourages a new shoot to develop below the cut. Remove damaged leaves by cutting the petiole flush with the stem.
How often does philodendron longilobatum need pruning?
As needed; light trim once a year if shape control is desired. Philodendron Longilobatum is a climbing aroid that needs very little pruning. Remove dead or yellowing leaves at the petiole base as they appear. If vines grow too long or unruly, you can trim a stem back just above a node to encourage branching and a fuller appearance.
