Questions About Tree mallow


Whether to prune or cut back depends on the way you want your plant to grow and the look you’re trying to achieve in your garden or home. Some gardeners favor the cutting back method, as it leaves more room for entirely new growth. However, it is possible to selectively and strategically prune Tree mallow while still encouraging full healthy growth in spring.

To prune your Tree mallow simply allow your plant to go dormant over the Winter. Some time between late winter and early spring – or when new growth starts to appear – take your clean pruners or trimmers and cut away any dying, damaged, yellow or declining foliage. Repeat this process until you reach the base of the plant or until there are no dead pieces left to cut. When pruning, be careful not to damage the new growth that may be emerging near the base of your plant. These parts cannot be restored and pruning can increase the ventilation of the plants and facilitate their growth. Any pruning that is done to this plant should be cut straight across the blades or stems. No angled cuts are required.
Diseased leaf blade foliage can be removed as it appears. This could be done anytime when your Tree mallow is growing.

Yellow and diseased leaves may appear during the summer months when the Tree mallow is growing vigorously and these types of leaves need to be pruned back immediately. These parts of the Tree mallow cannot be restored and pruning increases the ventilation of the plant and facilitates its growth.


Do not water the Tree mallow immediately after pruning as this can lead to fungal infestation of the plants through the wounds.
You don’t need much after care when you’re done pruning. It might benefit from light watering and some liquid plant food to encourage new growth.


It’s important to note that if Tree mallow is pruned too late in the season, it can leave new growth at risk for damage or disease. However, if your Tree mallow is indoors this is not a problem and you can prune at any time. Since this can affect the long-term health and appearance of your plant, it’s important to keep this in mind when deciding when and how to prune. As your Tree mallow grows larger over time, you can trim it as needed after annual pruning.
Dead, damaged, or diseased leaf blade foliage can be removed as it appears. This could be done anytime when your Tree mallow is growing.
