Pruning is very plant specific. I wouldn't be able to give you good pruning information without knowing quite a bit of information about the plant and its environment , or at least the name of the plant in question.
Otherwise, what I can do for now is include an article for general plant pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/fgen/pruning-garden-plants.htm
