CARE GUIDE

How to keep Antirrhinum Tortuosum.

Water

Water Antirrhinum tortuosum once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist. Allow the top 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) of soil to dry out between waterings. It's best to water at the root crown and preferably in the morning to prevent the leaves from getting wet. Make sure the soil is well-drained to promote optimal plant health.

Pruning

Antirrhinum tortuosum is known for its twisted stems and vibrant flowers. To encourage healthy growth and improve air circulation, prune the plant in early spring using sterilized shears. Trim away any dead stems and thin out dense areas to boost flowering and control the plant's size. For the best results, consider referring to horticultural guides for expert tips and practices.
