How to Prune lemon geranium?

Lemon geranium, known for its fragrant, lemon-scented leaves and crinkled foliage, benefits from regular pruning to maintain shape and promote growth. Prune in early spring to late winter, focusing on removing dead or leggy stems. Trim just above leaf nodes to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning during active growth periods to prevent stress. Pruning not only enhances appearance but also improves air circulation and reduces disease risk, ensuring a healthier, more vigorous plant.
