Dickmännchen is very cut friendly
The cutting of thick-males is rarely necessary
Dickmännchen or Ysander needs almost no care. You do not need to water or fertilize the groundcover once it has grown. Also, the cutting is superfluous, unless the perennials are completely out of shape or form too many offshoots.

When cutting Ysander, you can not go wrong. The ground cover tolerates a strong pruning in every season.
Pachysandra terminalis, as the name implies, becomes 20 to 30 centimeters high. If you like the groundcover shorter, just cut it down. The perennials recover quickly from this and drive out again.
Limit spreading of Ysander by cutting
Like all ground cover, even Dickmännchen spreads quickly in the garden. The perennials become more sprawling and they form many foothills, with which they conquer the whole garden, if you let them.
In order to stop the spread, it is recommended to cut back the big ones if necessary. You should also cut off the subterranean foothills.
This works best with a sharp spade that you stab in the ground. Since the dickman's roots do not protrude very deep into the earth, the sting does not have to be very deep.
Use foothills for propagation
You can use stumped stolons very well for propagation, if you want to plant more shade surfaces.
Just dig them with the roots and put them in the desired new location.
Always cut sick shoots immediately
If the thick-faced man is too moist, it can easily lead to diseases caused by fungi.
In time, you can sometimes reduce the fungal infection by cutting the affected shoots.
Wear gloves when cutting
Ysander is poisonous in all plant parts. You should therefore wear gloves when cutting and not leave the clippings so that pets do not nibble and poison themselves.
Tips
If you plant Pachysandra terminalis near a lawn, you should keep a sufficient distance or cut off the turf a bit. Otherwise there is a risk that the floor will not be adequately ventilated. You should always remove grass foothills at the beginning.
