Pruning
Prostanthera caerulea is an aromatic shrub that needs minimal pruning. To maintain its health and promote blooming, trim the plant in early spring. This helps remove dead wood, improve airflow, and encourage new growth. Be careful not to cut old wood, as it can lead to a loss of flowers. Regular light pruning also helps keep the shrub's shape compact and attractive. Always use clean, sharp tools to minimize stress on the plant.
