How to keep Linum Monogynum.
Pruning
Rauhuia is a beautiful plant with delicate white flowers and slender stems, making it a perfect choice for gardens. To keep your Rauhuia healthy and looking its best, it's important to prune it in early spring. During pruning, focus on removing dead stems and reducing the plant's height to encourage bushier growth and improve airflow. Regular pruning helps maintain both the shape and health of the plant. Be sure to use clean tools to avoid causing stress or introducing infections. Annual pruning is recommended for optimal results.
