I’ve been told that I need to prune my plant but this is my first plant and I have no clue where or how to do it, can anyone give me some tips?

She's still a little plant! Won't need drastic pruning. At most, I would prune back the branch with the flowers after the flowers die. Prune right above a node (the bump where a set of leaves grows out of)

Thanks that really helps! Yes she’s still very little and I’m hoping with all the right care I can get her growing because I’ve already had her for two years, she’s also coming out of a little bit of a rough hole because of events involving my house being under construction she didn’t get water for a while but she powered through so now she getting the care she needs!

Sounds like a plant with a story! Those are the best. 😉

She already looks much better than before so against what some people say I think it was a good idea to repot her because she was very squished in her old pot and she is also getting growth farther down the branches so maybe all she needs is a little time

You're the mama. You know what's best! 😆
