How to keep Chrysosplenium Glechomifolium.
Pruning
The Pacific golden saxifrage showcases golden-green foliage and has a low-growing habit. Prune any dead or damaged stems in early spring to encourage healthy growth. After the plant flowers, trim it again to maintain its shape and improve air circulation, which will lead to more blooms. Always use clean, sharp tools to prevent the spread of disease.
