Pruning campfire crassula (red pagoda) — FAQ
When should I prune campfire crassula (red pagoda)?
Late winter to early spring, or immediately after flowering. Use clean, sharp scissors to remove dead leaves and spent flower spikes close to the base. After the monocarpic rosette finishes flowering and declines, cut it away to allow offsets to fill in.
How often does campfire crassula (red pagoda) need pruning?
As needed; post-flower cleanup when the parent rosette dies. Campfire Crassula needs very little pruning. Remove dead or damaged leaves and tidy up spent flower stalks after blooming. Note that this plant is monocarpic — the main rosette dies after flowering. Cut the exhausted stem back to the base once it declines, and encourage surrounding offsets to take over.
