With its fuzzy, grey-green leaves, felted pepperface thrives with minimal pruning, aimed at shaping and removing damaged foliage. Spring through fall, trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth — a clean snip just above a leaf node does the trick. Discarding any yellow or withered leaves maintains health and aesthetic appeal. Post-pruning, felted pepperface enjoys a modest growth boost, while preventing overgrowth preserves its compact charm. Employ sterile shears for clean cuts to prevent disease introduction.
