How to prune tulista pumila

Any time for dead material; after blooming for stalks. Snip dead outer leaves flush at the base with sterile scissors. Cut flower stalks down to the base of the rosette once flowers have faded.

Rarely — as needed. Tulista pumila (formerly Haworthia pumila) needs very little pruning. Remove only outer leaves that have fully dried and turned papery, cutting them cleanly at the base. Trim spent flower stalks after blooming. The rosette is self-forming — no shaping is required, and cutting into healthy leaves will mar its appearance.
