Pruning aeonium haworthii — FAQ
When should I prune aeonium haworthii?
Late summer to early autumn, when the plant is actively growing. Cut stems back to a healthy branching point or side bud using clean, sharp pruners. Strip dead leaves from lower stems by hand — they pull away cleanly when fully dry.
How often does aeonium haworthii need pruning?
Annually in late summer; dead-leaf removal as needed. Pinwheel aeonium is naturally branching and bushy, needing very little pruning. Remove spent flower heads after blooming — that rosette will die but siblings continue growing. Trim leggy stems in late summer to encourage side shoots. Dead outer leaves can be stripped by hand as needed throughout the year.
