Pruning calibrachoa 'superbells trailing blue' — FAQ
When should I prune calibrachoa 'superbells trailing blue'?
Mid-July when trails extend beyond the basket or pot edge and flowering density drops. Shear all stems back by one-third with scissors, cutting above a leaf node. Fertilise with a balanced liquid feed immediately after to fuel the rebound flush.
How often does calibrachoa 'superbells trailing blue' need pruning?
Once per season (midsummer); spot-remove dead stems as needed. Calibrachoa 'Superbells Trailing Blue' self-cleans well, dropping spent blooms without deadheading. Its trailing habit can become straggly by midsummer; cutting all stems back by one-third at that point revives flowering and tightens the plant. No other routine pruning is needed beyond removing dead or diseased stems.
