Start by deciding where you want the plant to travel rather than letting every new shoot choose the structure. Young growth can be guided gently along the intended line and checked regularly as it develops.nnThe aim is not to force a rigid shape. It is to create enough order that the plant can become generous without becoming chaotic.nnLight, pruning and support strength will vary by site and species, so treat the framework as a living system that needs adjustment.
Plant care always depends on the actual species, growing medium and conditions. Use these notes as a practical starting point, then observe the plant in front of you.
