How to prune drosera burmanni

Any time; manage flower scapes before seed set if needed. Pinch or snip flower scapes at the base if you want to limit self-seeding. Otherwise, simply allow dead outer leaves to desiccate naturally or remove them with tweezers.

Rarely — as needed. Drosera burmanni is a small, fast-growing annual or short-lived perennial sundew. It needs no pruning. Remove dead outer leaves if they detract from appearance. If it flowers, allow it to set seed for propagation or remove scapes to prolong the plant's life slightly. Self-seeds readily — manage seedlings rather than pruning the parent plant.
