picked up this desert rose and it’s my first time having one of them. i’ve watched many videos on pruning these so they become more full and have more flowers, but i’m still very confused by it. i’ve seen people cut the branches short and the plant has no leaves at all, and then it grows more a couple weeks later. is that literally what you do? i don’t want to cut the stems and have absolutely zero leaves for a couple weeks or it ends up dying, but if that’s the way, then i will have to.

    i would try pruning the tips of branches to encourage growth further down the stem instead of solely vertical!
