You don’t need to trim it, unless you want to reshape it in any way. And if you want to trim it I suggest that you make sure that it gets plenty of light and has a good sized pot. Trimming your plant can stress them and they need optimal conditions to prevent other issues ☺️

Thank you. I think I’ll leave her alone. If anything, I need to replant her into a better pot. Thanks again!
