OK to cut/prune plumeria and "jatropha podagrica"

Hello guys,

I would like to know if it's OK to cut/prune two young plants:

1. a plumeria. I have grown it from seed, it's now about 1 m tall but just one stem, no ramifications. Probably 1,5 - 2 years old.
I'd like to know if I should cut the top in order to make it grow branches.

2. a jatropha pogadrica. about 15-20 cm tall, but it doesn't look like in some pictures, a very far stem. The stem is somewhat fat but always growing upwards. It doesn't have any ramifications. Right now, no leaves at all cause it's winter. I would like to know if jatropha podagrica can be pruned and if it does shoot branches.

THANKS,

CALIN

 

Took me a while but I found this about your Budda Belly Plant:

Hello Trudy,

Thanks. I will do some pruning in a month, when spring is here.
