How to keep Gaultheria Nummularioides.
Pruning
Pruning Gaultheria nummularioides in early spring helps maintain its health and shape by removing dead or damaged branches. This practice not only enhances the plant's appearance but also helps prevent diseases by aligning with its natural growth cycle and avoiding interference with peak flowering.
