Repotting and Pruning
Healthy plants balance their foliage and root growth. Good pruning and repotting habits help plants to maintain this balance. A rootbound plant will grow foliage energettically until the roots are unable to feed it all. Foliage growth will thus stop until repotted into a larger container. Foliage will grow again only after the roots have a chance to catch up. Pruning either foliage or roots affects this balance. Regular foliage pruning or pinching back encourages fuller growth and also provides cuttings with which to propagate new plants.
