When to harvest or prune

Pinch or trim regularly to keep growth compact and productive. Avoid removing more than one third of the plant at once.

Plant Diagnoser notes

Watch for yellowing leaves, brown tips, weak growth, pest residue, and soil that stays wet too long. Match symptoms against watering, light, soil drainage, airflow, and pest pressure.
