Pruning marble houseleek — FAQ
When should I prune marble houseleek?
After a rosette has flowered and died, any time of year. Remove spent rosettes by cutting cleanly at the base or twisting them out. Peel away dried lower leaves by hand. Leave all healthy rosettes completely undisturbed.
How often does marble houseleek need pruning?
Rarely — only to remove dead rosettes. Marble Houseleek (Sempervivum marmoreum) needs no routine pruning. Individual rosettes die naturally after flowering — remove them cleanly and the surrounding offsets grow on. Remove withered outer leaves by hand as they appear. This is a naturally tidy, compact houseplant; there is no shaping or cutting required for healthy specimens.
