ON THIS PLANT
Tetroncium is a genus of plants in the Juncaginaceae described as a genus in 1808. It contains only one known species, Tetroncium magellanicum, known from a few sub-Antarctic islands: Tierra Del Fuego (Chile and Argentina), Falkland Islands, and Gough Island. The plant got the name magellanicum because the original description was describing the sample found near the Strait of Magellan.
CARE GUIDE

Pruning
Prune Tetroncium magellanicum in early spring to keep it compact and promote healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and pinch young shoots to encourage bushier growth. Be sure to use clean tools for cutting, as regular pruning enhances air circulation, reduces the risk of disease, and helps maintain an attractive shape.
