CARE GUIDE

How to keep Leptosiphon Acicularis.

Pruning

Bristly linanthus has delicate stems and needle-like leaves. For optimal health, prune the plant from early to late spring to remove any dead growth and encourage healthier foliage. Light shaping helps prevent legginess, improves airflow, and reduces the risk of disease. To avoid stressing the plant, refrain from heavy pruning outside of this season. Following these guidelines promotes vigorous growth and enhances the plant's ornamental value.
