Cut off 1/3 to 1/2 of the length, shorten the plant to its original shape after flowering, and perform general pruning during the autumn and winter dormancy period.

3. [Re-cut]

Before pruning, use a search engine to make sure your plants can be pruned... For example, if you prune the top of a lily, you'll regret it ╮(╯▽╰)╭
