CARE GUIDE

How to keep Eremophila Latrobei.

Pruning

The Georgina poison bush thrives in arid conditions and benefits from early spring pruning to promote a healthy shape and growth. To maintain the plant's health, regularly remove dead branches and lightly trim it to encourage bushiness, which enhances airflow and light penetration. For the best results, use clean and sharp tools when pruning.
