- When to Prune: Best done in spring or early summer (March to June). Avoid pruning too late in the fall.
- Tools: Use sharp pruning shears or loppers for thicker branches. Ensure tools are sharp to prevent damage.
- Pruning Smaller Plants:
- Remove dead flowers and damaged branches first.
- Trim 2–3 inches from the outer stems, being cautious not to cut too deeply.
- Shape the plant to maintain a bushy appearance.
- Pruning Larger, Woody Shrubs:
- Use loppers or a pruning saw for thick branches.
- Cut back a third of the plant’s size, especially the dead or unhealthy parts.
- Using Clippings:
- Replant the cuttings to propagate new plants or use them in cooking. You can also simmer them for a natural air freshener
