Pruning House Plants

Most people don’t realize that house plants should be pruned a few times a year.  Pruning the tips promotes healthy growth, and to grow thicker at

the base of the plant,  and stops leggy growth.   To keep the plant in the same container year after year, prune their roots enough to have about an inch

of soil on the sides and bottom of the pot.   Remember if you root prune your plant you must prune the plant about a third off the top, this will keep the

plant from going into shock.   Always water plants after repotting.
