I'll be honest, I've never pruned any of my plants before. I started buying plants about 6 months ago when I moved into a new house, and bought over 20 plants over a few months. After two plants died fairly quickly, I spent a lot of time researching the whole light and watering situation. Except for a few cuttings to get more plants, I've been too afraid to prune any of the plants though, as I fear damaging the plants.
So when it comes to pruning, would the plant benefit from having small leaves like these, at the bottom of the stem, cut off?
The plant also has a few layers of leaves with different sizes, generally having the outermost layer consisting of the largest leaves. Should any of these be pruned as well? Are any specific tools or methods required when pruning, or should I just cut it off with a sharp and sterile knife?
Cheers!
