Calibrachoa Flower Care: Deadheading, Pruning, and Pest Control
- Deadheading: Unlike some flowering plants, Calibrachoa does not require deadheading (removal of spent blooms) to continue flowering. The plant is self-cleaning, which makes it relatively low maintenance.
- Pruning: Light pruning or pinching back can help maintain the plant’s shape and encourage bushier growth. This is especially useful if the plant becomes leggy or overgrown.
- Pest and Disease Control: Calibrachoa is generally resistant to many common pests and diseases, but it can be susceptible to issues like aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions. Regular inspection and prompt treatment with insecticidal soap or other remedies can help manage these problems.
