- 1). Remove 1/3 of all of the older branches and stems with the hedge clippers, to allow the sunlight to reach the inner portions of the bush.
- 2). Clip all of the long stems that are growing close to the ground. This cleans up the underside of the bush and keeps it from sprawling.
- 3). Cut y-shaped branches just above the split, to promote optimal growth.
- 4). Thin out the smaller stems with the hand pruners. Make sure to remove only old growth, to enhance the young vibrant look of the plant.
- 5). Put all of the clippings into a compost heap if you have one, if not dispose of them properly, in trash bags.
