CARE GUIDE

How to keep Pluchea Foetida.

Pruning

To keep your stinking camphorweed healthy and well-maintained, it's important to prune it in early spring. Pruning helps control its size and encourages robust growth. Focus on trimming any leggy or damaged parts, but avoid cutting too much to ensure the plant retains its shape and blooming ability. Pruning also enhances air circulation and lowers the risk of disease. For optimal results, use clean, sharp tools and perform regular inspections of your plant.
