How to prune pearl plant

Any time of year, as needed. Peel or snap off completely dried outer leaves at the base with clean fingers or tweezers. Do not cut green leaves — the rosette form is natural and requires no shaping.

Rarely — only when dead leaves are visible. Pearl Plant (Haworthiopsis fasciata) needs virtually no pruning. It grows in tight rosettes and does not branch or sprawl. Simply remove any brown, dried, or damaged outer leaves by peeling them away cleanly at the base. No shaping or cutting is required or beneficial.
