Prune _COMMON_NAME_ after the fruit matures by cutting off the stem and the leaves above the second-largest leaf at the top of each branch. This can stop the plant’s stems and leaves from continuing to grow, reducing upward growth and promoting reproductive growth. Flowers or fruits that grow too densely will compete with each other for nutrients. Poorly developed flowers and small-sized fruits need to be pruned to allow the plant to provide sufficient nutrients to fruit production. Inadequate pruning could lead to the fruit dropping, or an overall failure of the fruit to mature.

If the leaves turn yellow and diseased during the plant growing, it is necessary to prune the yellowed and aged leaves from the bottom, and cut the parts of the leaves that are infected with the bacteria. This can effectively reduce the infection of bacteria. Try not to trim more than 1/4 of the total number of leaves to avoid affecting plant growth.

After the plant starts dormant, remove all the dead parts off the ground.
