This is how the pruning succeeds

How should I go about cutting?

The happiness tree generally grows more slowly in a small pot than in a large container. If it has a lot of space and if the supply of nutrients is good, then your happiness tree will grow up to the ceiling, a good two meters high. If you want it to have a nice, dense crown, shorten the shoots regularly. Start when your lucky tree is about 1m to 1.5m tall.

Always use absolutely clean and sharp tools for cutting to prevent injuries and the transmission of germs. Cut off sick shoots as soon as you discover them. If your happiness tree has become too big for you as a whole, then cut it a little more radically. Even a strong rejuvenation pruning will not be offended by the happiness tree.
