Pruning is generally not required for Taraxacum pyropappum unless removing spent flower stalks to prevent unwanted self-seeding or to maintain a tidy appearance. Dead or damaged foliage can be removed at any time.
Taraxacum pyropappum readily self-seeds. Seeds can be collected from mature flower heads and sown in trays of moist compost. Alternatively, division of established clumps in spring or autumn can be undertaken.
Repotting is typically only necessary if the plant becomes root-bound or if the soil has become depleted. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
Use a well-draining potting mix and choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
