If your plant is very small or does not grow quickly, it only requires a light pruning. You can snip around one fourth of the plant off rather than one third.
If you leave unhealthy stems, they will drain your plant’s nutrients. To keep your plant healthy, it is best to get rid of any unsightly stems. Avoid cutting green shoots. These are alive and can still grow healthy buds.
Keeping the center open and airy helps the plant grow long stems and project outward.
Make your snips with pruning shears or scissors.
This is a good idea if your kangaroo paw has overgrown your garden bed or if the plant looks withered and sickly. If your kangaroo paws are in a pot rather than your garden, it is healthier for the plant to leave a few healthy stems if you can. That way, it can grow back faster.
This way, your plant looks great in your garden or inside its pot.
This way, you can get the maximum display time for your flowers.
This creates an attractive centerpiece, for example. You can place the centerpiece in your office, bathroom, living room, or kitchen.
This extends the vase life of your kangaroo paws. Cut your stems under flowing water. This will help prevent air from getting drawn up into the stem and allow the stems to absorb water more easily.
With proper watering, your kangaroo paws should last in a vase for 3-5 days.
