All that is required of you once you have pruned your
Common mallow is to clean up. Once you have pruned, deadheaded, or cut back your
Common mallow, gather the bits you have cut off and discard them. If there are any diseased parts of the plant that you have pruned away, do not discard them with the rest of the pruned pieces. Diseased foliage should be disposed of. When watering after pruning, be careful not to touch the wound to prevent fungus from infecting the plant through the fresh wound. Placing
Common mallow in a well-ventilated location will also help the wound to dry out and heal in time.
