Pruning philodendron pteromischum — FAQ
When should I prune philodendron pteromischum?
Spring for corrective trimming; any time for dead leaf removal. Cut cleanly just above a node with sterilised shears to encourage branching below the cut. Remove declining leaves by severing the petiole close to the main stem.
How often does philodendron pteromischum need pruning?
As needed; light trim once a year if shape control is desired. Philodendron Pteromischum is a climbing aroid that needs very little pruning. Remove dead or yellowing leaves at the petiole base as they appear. If stems grow too long or leggy, trim back to a node in spring to encourage new shoots. Otherwise, guide it up a support and allow natural growth.
