Pruning faucaria tuberculosa — FAQ
When should I prune faucaria tuberculosa?
After flowering, or when dead leaves are visible. Gently pull or cut dead outer leaves cleanly from the base. Remove spent flower stalks at the base after blooming finishes. Avoid cutting into the fleshy leaf tissue.
How often does faucaria tuberculosa need pruning?
As needed; rarely more than once a year. Faucaria tuberculosa (tiger jaws) needs virtually no pruning. Remove dead or desiccated leaves from the outer rosette as needed. The plant sheds old leaves naturally as it forms clusters over time. Spent flower stalks can be removed after blooming. No shaping cuts are needed — the low-growing rosette form is self-maintaining.
