How to keep Eremophila Oppositifolia.
Pruning
Eremophila oppositifolia features leaves that are arranged opposite each other and blooms with tubular flowers. To encourage growth and flowering, prune the plant in early spring. Be sure to remove any dead wood and maintain good air circulation. It's important to clean your tools to prevent the spread of diseases. Regular pruning improves the plant's structure, enhances its vigor, and boosts its ornamental appeal.
