How to Prune Roepera Maritima

Inspect
Begin by thoroughly inspecting roepera maritima for any signs of diseased leaves, withered leaves, or dead branches. Pay close attention to areas that appear discolored or are lacking in vitality.
Clean Tools
Ensure that all pruning tools are clean and sharp. Sterilize the tools with rubbing alcohol to prevent the spread of disease, especially when dealing with infected parts.
