Hi there - I got a turtle vine that looks horrible. I was going to cut out the dead vines, but most of them have new growth at the ends. How do I prune this plant?? Thank you!

I have the pink and the gold varieties. They grow like weeds! The need regular haircuts to remain bushy. You should viciously trim to the rim of the pot. Keep the new growth and throw out the dead parts. Repot or refresh the soil if needed. Place the new growth back in the pot if there are empty spots when you remove the dead parts. Start new plants with remaining new growth. The plant likes high humidity. They will dry out and drop leaves if they need water. Bright light will help with the color.

Mine are used as a curtain to block garden tools. 😆
