How to keep Erica Plukenetii.
Pruning
Groovesepal heath benefits from regular pruning in early spring. By cutting just above healthy buds, you can promote growth and improve air circulation. Removing damaged stems also reduces the risk of disease. Using clean tools prevents infections. This practice not only enhances growth but can also extend the flowering season and increase blooming productivity.
