How to prune episcia 'pink acajou'

Year-round for dead-leaf and spent bloom removal; spring to trim runners. Pinch or snip stolons (runners) back to the desired length. Remove spent flowers and damaged leaves at the base with clean scissors or fingertips.

As needed — light grooming every few weeks during active growth. Episcia 'Pink Acajou' is a stoloniferous gesneriad that spreads via runners rather than growing tall. Little pruning is needed. Remove spent flowers and trim back excessively long or straggly stolons to maintain a tidy mound or hanging display. Remove damaged or yellowed leaves as they appear. No hard cutting back is required.
