CARE GUIDE

How to keep Aciphylla Ferox.

Pruning

To maintain the fierce spaniard plant's health and appearance, prune it in early spring. Remove any dead or damaged leaves, and trim back excessive growth to preserve its shape. Pruning at the leaf base encourages vigorous regrowth, helps prevent disease, and improves the plant's resilience, resulting in a well-groomed appearance.
