Moses-in-the-Boat Plant: Deadheading and Division Advice

To Deadhead or Not?

Spent flowers on Rhoeo (Moses-in-the-boat) can be left on the plant without harm, but they look unsightly. Removing brown, dried blooms is purely cosmetic and won't affect future flowering.

Think Twice Before Dividing

Dividing the plant may disrupt its flowering cycle. Consider alternatives:

• If overcrowded: prune instead of dividing.
• If you want more plants: take stem cuttings for propagation.

Care Reminders

Provide bright, indirect light. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overpotting—Rhoeo prefers being slightly root-bound.
