Pruning
To help California saxifrage thrive, it's best to prune it in early spring. Start by removing any dead foliage and shaping the plant by trimming long stems. Light pruning is beneficial because it improves air circulation and reduces the risk of fungal diseases. However, avoid heavy pruning since the plant has a slow growth rate.
