Pruning aromatic didymocarpus — FAQ
When should I prune aromatic didymocarpus?
After flowering; dead-leaf removal year-round as needed. Cut or snap spent flower stalks cleanly at the base of the plant. Gently remove yellowed or dead leaves at their attachment point without disturbing the healthy centre of the plant.
How often does aromatic didymocarpus need pruning?
Rarely — only for spent flowers and dead foliage. Aromatic Didymocarpus (Didymocarpus aromaticus) is a small gesneriad grown as a foliage and occasional-flowering houseplant. It needs very little pruning. Remove spent flower scapes at the base once blooms finish, and peel away any dead or deteriorating outer leaves. The compact habit does not require structural trimming under normal conditions.
