Prune undesirable branches (especially those growing straight down from their parent branch) when repotting or during the growing season.
that have developed basic shapes and have obvious undesirable branches in need of pruning. Nevertheless, it is possible that some branches that were thought undesirable are in fact very important. So you must exercise caution during branch pruning.
Pinching must be done continuously during the growing season. Prune undesirable branches (especially those growing straight down from their parent branch) when repotting or during the growing season.
The pruning of the branches is typically done in spring, and much but not all of the new growth is removed at this time. You should wire the desirable branches in an artistic way, as this is where the aesthetic appeal of the plant comes from.
