How to Prune lipstick plant?

Lipstick plant, known for its vibrant flowers, requires pruning in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Remove dead or diseased stems, and trim leggy growth to maintain a bushy appearance. Pruning also helps in shaping and controlling the plant's size. Clean cuts encourage better air circulation, reducing the risk of fungal infections. Regular pruning not only enhances ornamental appeal but also boosts the plant's vigor and longevity.
