To prune or not to prune? 🤔

Question

How much is too much when it comes to pruning and how often? 🤔 I clipped off a few of these leaves since I got this prayer plant and i’d like to trim off a few more of the raggedy looking leaves but i’m scared i’m going to hurt this beautiful monstrosity by pruning it again.. 😅 #GregGang #NewGrowth #RedPrayerPlant #PrayerPlant #HappyPlants

The figure “25%” popped into my head when I read the how much question. I can’t recall the source, sorry! Pruning monthly is fine imo. ✂️✂️✂️

I am having the same debate with mine. It looks similar but blah.

Prune the longest vine once a month or once every two or three months
