Pruning small-flowered calibrachoa — FAQ
When should I prune small-flowered calibrachoa?
At planting; mid-season if the plant becomes leggy. Pinch stem tips to the first leaf node at planting. For a mid-season tidy, trim all stems back by one-quarter to one-third with clean scissors, cutting just above a leaf node.
How often does small-flowered calibrachoa need pruning?
Once at planting; optionally once mid-season. Small-flowered calibrachoa (Calibrachoa parviflora) behaves similarly to hybrid Calibrachoa — largely self-cleaning with small flowers that shed naturally. Pruning need is low. Pinching stem tips at planting supports bushier growth. If the plant becomes open or leggy mid-season, a light trim of one-quarter to one-third restores density.
