Fertilize: For morina kokonorica, balanced nutrition fertilizers are crucial for growth. Fertilize bi-monthly with a half-strength solution during growing seasons, ensuring moist soil. Reduce fertilization in dormancy. Use gloves and wash tools after application to prevent contamination for optimal health.

Pruning: Morina kokonorica has spiny, rosette-forming leaves and decorative flowers. Prune between early to late spring to stimulate growth and shape. Start by removing dead stems, then cut back flowering stems. Pruning improves air circulation, reduces diseases, and promotes a healthy, attractive structure.
