Pruning pseuderanthemum carruthersii var. carruthersii — FAQ
When should I prune pseuderanthemum carruthersii var. carruthersii?
Early spring; tip-pinching through spring and summer. Use clean scissors to pinch or cut stem tips back to a leaf node. Cut leggy stems back by one-quarter to one-third in spring to stimulate bushy regrowth.

Light tip-pinching monthly in season; structural trim once in spring. This variety of Pseuderanthemum carruthersii shares the same growth habit as the species — a tropical shrub prone to legginess without occasional trimming. Pinch tips during the growing season and cut back overly long stems in spring to keep the plant compact and encourage fresh, well-coloured foliage from the base.
