Hi. I love this zebra plant that I got a year ago. It is now about 1 ft tall and I was just wondering whether I should let it grow straight or should I prune it back. Would appreciate your views on this. Thanks in advance!
I'd prune it back if it was growing spindly, or if you were running out of space. It looks like it's in good condition, so I personally wouldn't cut the top area off - you'll also have a higher chance of getting flowers sooner. If you do cut, axillary buds (bud between stem and leaf petiole) will probably branch out to give a bushier appearance. So it's all up to you, as the plant looks healthy.
