Hello everyone, I want to form a lush Syngonium, is it possible to prune the vine? (2 arrows grow)

Hello everyone,
I want to form a lush
Syngonium,
is it possible to prune the vine?
 (2 arrows grow)

 Syngonium can and should be pruned to form a bushy shrub rather than a long, bare vine. This encourages lateral shoots, making it appear fuller. Pinch above the 5th or 6th leaf to encourage branching, and remove elongated parts to maintain a compact appearance.

 Why pruning helps create a bushier shrub

 Growth stimulation: Pruning encourages the plant to branch out rather than grow upward.

 Shaping: You can create a bushy shrub, a trailing plant, or a vine with support, but pruning is essential for bushiness.
