How to prune streptocarpus 'targa'

Throughout the flowering season. Snap or cut flower stalks at their point of emergence from the leaf as soon as the last bloom on each stalk fades. Remove dead or mushy leaves by pulling them gently away from the base. Keep the crown clear of debris to prevent crown rot.

Every 2–4 weeks when in flower. Streptocarpus 'Targa' requires the same minimal care as other hybrid Cape primroses: remove spent flower stalks promptly to encourage reblooming, and clear away any old or dead leaves. No hard pruning is needed. The plant flowers repeatedly through spring and autumn with good light, and deadheading is the single most impactful maintenance step.
