How can I trim a fig tree house plant effectively?

To trim a fig tree house plant effectively, use sharp, clean pruning shears to remove any dead or damaged branches. Trim back any overgrown branches to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. Make cuts at a slight angle just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Avoid cutting off more than one-third of the plant's total foliage at a time to prevent stress and promote healthy growth.
