Pruning Bird of Paradise Bush

Question

How to prune and when to prune my Bird of Paradise Bush.  It’s getting too big. I’m in Florida on the West Coast. Thank you.

Answer 1

Prune out any dead or weak growth. For hard pruning cut back all branches. I would not cut it back by more than 1/3 a year. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bop/bird-of-paradise-pruning.htm
