How to prune jelly bean plant (pork and beans)

Spring for trimming leggy stems; any time for dead material. Cut leggy stems back to a healthy node with clean scissors. Collect fallen leaves for propagation on dry soil. Remove shrivelled lower leaves by hand. Allow any cut surface to callous for a day or two before the stem contacts moist soil.

As needed; major tidying once a year in spring if required. Jelly Bean Plant needs little deliberate pruning. Remove dead or shrivelled leaves at the base. If stems become leggy or sprawl out of the pot, trim back to a healthy section in spring. Be gentle — the plump leaves detach easily and will propagate on their own, which is useful but can be messy.
