When the leaf buds start to swell prune Tibouchina heteromalla in the late-winter or early spring. Prune to enhance the form of the plant and decrease its dimensions. Select misshapen and tall branches and reduce back to your parent stem, which is the bigger branch where it originates. Also, slim out crowded places, particularly in the middle of the plant.
