How to prune woolly rose

Dead-leaf removal year-round; beheading in spring. Carefully peel dead basal leaves downward without disturbing the fine leaf hairs. Remove flower stalks at the base once flowers fade. When beheading, cut cleanly, callous for a day, then re-root on dry gritty mix — avoid moisture on the leaves.

As needed — light maintenance a few times a year. Woolly Rose (Echeveria 'Doris Taylor') is a fuzzy-leafed hybrid that needs very little pruning. Remove spent lower leaves by gently peeling them away — avoid wetting or rubbing the felt-like surface. Trim flower stalks after blooming. If the plant becomes leggy, behead and re-root the rosette in spring or summer.
