How to keep Pulicaria Microcephala.
Pruning
Prune Pulicaria microcephala in early spring to promote growth and remove any damaged branches. Use sharp, clean tools to make precise cuts just above healthy buds. Regular pruning boosts flowering and improves overall plant health. However, avoid heavy pruning during active growth, as it can stress the plant. For specific care requirements, always consult reliable sources.
