How often does argyroderma fissum need pruning?
Rarely — once per annual growth cycle. Argyroderma fissum requires no pruning. Like others in the genus, it is a stemless mimicry succulent that replaces its leaf pair annually. The spent pair naturally shrivels and dries as new leaves emerge. Simply remove the papery remains by hand once fully desiccated — no cutting or trimming is needed.
