A tropical evergreen valued for its lush foliage, procris crenata responds well to pruning to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Prune during spring or summer, after new growth commences. Trim back leggy stems and remove any dead or damaged foliage to promote healthier, more vigorous plants. Regular pruning can enhance air circulation, deter pests, and stimulate the production of more leaves. Pruning should be conservative, avoiding over-cutting to prevent stress.
