How to prune string of raindrops

Spring or early summer during active growth. Snip dead or shrivelled strands cleanly at the soil surface or at the point where healthy plump leaves resume. For length control, cut a trailing strand back to a node just above a healthy leaf. Allow cuttings to callous briefly before propagating.
