Pruning
The sticky pincushion plant is known for its adhesive leaves and pincushion-like flowers. To maintain its health and appearance, prune the plant from early to late spring, removing any dead stems and pinching new growth to encourage bushiness. Regularly deadhead the spent blooms to prolong the flowering period. For optimal results and to promote healthy growth and an attractive appearance, use clean, sharp tools when pruning.
