How to prune chinese money plant

Spring for pup removal; dead leaf cleanup any time. Snap or snip individual leaf petioles cleanly at the point they join the stem. For soil-level pups, unpot the plant, trace the pup to its root connection, and sever cleanly with a sterilised blade before potting up separately. Stem pups can be cut flush with the main stem.

Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base of their petioles. The plant produces offshoots (pups) from its roots and lower stem; remove these by cutting or pulling them away if you want a tidy single-stem plant or wish to propagate.
