@BrokenHoeFarms - The Sacred Lotus are in the process of being pruned up, They are just showing pistils and I only prune until they show good fluffy tops. My first rule is that the lower ones that start popping a second node get gone. (red circle)

The ones in the orange circle will probably go. But if this was the last pruning and they had nice tops, I might keep the one on the inside and snip the one that will be on the outside (shaded)
Last thing is that I look at all 4 limbs before I prune. If there is just one monster sprout and the rest are tiny I'll leave them. But whatever I do to one limb I just rotate the plant and do it to all of them.
