In March, before new growth, but it tolerates cutting all year round.
What else to prune in those months? March
Kangaroo vine: how to prune it?
- Cut stems that are too long or bare back to just above a leaf or node; they will regrow from there.
- Remove weak, withered or damaged stems completely.
- Pinch out the tips for a bushier plant with more branches.
- Use clean, sharp scissors and use the trimmings as cuttings.
How much to cut, and how often?
- One pruning period a year: March.
What does it mean for wildlife?
- A houseplant lives indoors, so wildlife hardly notices the pruning. Healthy clippings can go on the compost.
