How to keep Blennosperma Bakeri.
Fertilizer
Baker's stickyseed does well with regular, light applications of fertilizer to encourage healthy leaf development. Fertilize Baker's stickyseed about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and supplying nitrogen-rich sources helps the plant thrive.
Pruning
To promote growth and flowering, prune Baker's stickyseed from early to late spring. Focus on removing dead or damaged stems. Trim any leggy stems to maintain the plant's shape and improve air circulation, which reduces the risk of disease. This will enhance the plant's vigor and ensure it remains a healthy and attractive addition to your garden.
