what are lateral shoots on a pointsetta plant

Answers
You need to prune a pointsetta in early spring but ensure you are watering it correctly before you start - Use pruning shears - cut each stem to about eight-inches in length. When pruning, try to leave about three or four green leaves on the shoots - Dont forget to fertilize after you have pruned - you should see lots of growth in the summer - Ken

As Derekm says, 'lateral shoots' just means side shoots (as opposed to the main stem).

Hi welcome to G o y, lateral shoots on any plant, are the shoots that come off the main stem or trunk, which is referred to as the leader, or lead shoot, Derek.
