How to Prune tongue-shaped guzmania?

Scarlet-star, known for its vibrant red bracts and central rosette, benefits from pruning to maintain its health and appearance. Prune in early spring or late winter to align with its growth cycle. Remove dead or dying leaves and spent flower stalks to encourage new growth. Ensure tools are sterile to prevent disease. Regular pruning enhances air circulation and light penetration, promoting overall vigor. Always cut close to the base, avoiding damage to the central rosette.
