Ease phylacium majus into its new setting during the temperate embrace of late spring through early summer, ensuring the gentlest transition. Select a location offering dappled light and well-draining soil to promote root establishment and vigorous growth.
Characterized by its vigorous growth, phylacium majus benefits greatly from pruning to maintain shape and encourage vitality. Prune phylacium majus in late winter or early spring, before the onset of new growth. Remove dead or damaged stems and thin out overcrowded areas to improve air circulation. Shortening over-extended branches promotes a more compact, bushier appearance. Regular pruning enhances plant health and prevents potential diseases associated with dense foliage.
