Mings respond very favorably to pruning. Regular pruning will produce a more compact, less leggy look. You can cut stems at any point. Enjoy!

Thanks Will, I'll be able to cut on the Ming without fear of killing it now!

Will, I posted too soon.
Can I cut the Ming back severly, or should it be in small amounts? Also, would putting it in the sun after the trim help or hurt?(a change of rooms-it's still cold here) Feed after the cut?
Thanks!![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)

You can prune back as much or as little as you like. It just depends on the results or look that you want to achieve.
A change in light (increase or decrease) will often cause some defoliation as the older leaves cannot adapt to the new light. If you HAVE TO relocate the plant, then it is best done right after the pruning because there will be fewer older leaves to defoliate.
Fertilizing is unrelated to pruning. Fertilize as usual - infrequently and at half strength.
