How to Prune flamingo flower?

This tropical plant has glossy, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, long-lasting flowers. Prune flamingo flower in early spring to late winter to encourage new growth and remove dead or yellowing leaves. Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts close to the base of the plant. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape, improves air circulation, and promotes flowering. Avoid over-pruning as it can stress the plant.
