Known for its patterned foliage, dumb cane thrives with regular pruning to maintain shape and vigor. Prune in spring, summer, or fall, cutting above leaf nodes to encourage bushy growth. Remove yellow or damaged leaves and trim leggy stems to improve airflow and light exposure, which promotes healthy development. Pruning rejuvenates dumb cane, stimulating new, fuller growth, aiding in pest management, and preventing excessive size. Always use clean, sharp tools to prevent infection and stress to dumb cane.
