How to Trim, Snip, Prune or Cut Back Vining and Trailing Plants
Channel: The Indoor Garden TV Show

From a 1992 episode of "The Indoor Garden" TV series: Liz demonstrates how to cut back a philodendron in a hanging basket. Some of the vines should be cut back, from time to time, a little or a lot, depending on their condition, or else they become unsightly. Even the most disparaging-looking and unkempt vining plant can be restored to a healthy beauty like the Nephtytis here. To see what this Nephthytis looked like when I first saw it, check out this YouTube clip:
