CARE GUIDE
How to keep Hakea Teretifolia.
Pruning
Dagger hakea is characterized by its needle-like leaves and spiky foliage. To encourage healthy growth, improve air circulation, and enhance light penetration, prune the plant in early spring. Remove dead branches and thin out crowded areas. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts, which will help control the plant's size and prevent the development of woody growth.
