Pruning pseudolithos cubiformis — FAQ
When should I prune pseudolithos cubiformis?
Only when dead tissue is present, ideally in the growing season (spring–summer). Use sterilised tweezers or fine scissors to remove shrivelled or necrotic surface tissue only. Do not cut into healthy green or grey-green body tissue. Allow any cut to dry before watering resumes.
How often does pseudolithos cubiformis need pruning?
Rarely — only to remove dead tissue as it appears. Pseudolithos cubiformis is an extremely rare, slow-growing succulent with a cube-like body. It requires no pruning whatsoever. The entire plant is a single geometrically compact stem. Simply remove any withered or dead tissue carefully. Any cutting of healthy tissue is harmful and unnecessary.
