How to prune hohenbergia stellata

After the inflorescence and mother rosette have fully died back. Cut the dead mother rosette at its base with sterilized pruners to free light and space for pups. Remove any dead or rotting leaves from the pups. Separate individual pups when they are a good size, or allow them to form a clump.

Once per lifecycle for mother removal; otherwise as needed. Hohenbergia stellata needs minimal pruning. It is monocarpic: after producing its long-lasting red inflorescence the rosette gradually dies while generating basal pups. Once the mother has fully died back, cut it away at the base to give pups more light and space. Otherwise, only remove visibly dead or damaged leaves.
