Do you have to prune the forest goat bear regularly?
The easy-care and long-lasting goatee does not require a complicated cut and is therefore also very suitable for beginners and garden owners who do not have much time for gardening but love decorative and unusual plants.
The better you choose the location, the less care the goatee needs. He prefers a half-shady or shady place, like under trees or in a darker garden corner. The soil should be slightly moist, nutrient-rich and humus-rich, but permeable, so that no waterlogging forms.
Since the forest goat beard gets quite large, it needs relatively much space. This is how the impressive flower spikes stand out very well. Did you know that there are male and female plants in the forest goat beard? You can distinguish these from the flower color, the female are white, the male on the other hand cream.
When is the best time for pruning?
The goat's beard can be cut back both in late autumn and in early spring. Choose the time that best suits your needs. Not every garden owner likes the view of a "bare" garden in winter, while some like to be "tidy and clean". Taste does not have to quarrel and the forest goatbeard accepts to cut both variants.
How is the goatee circumcised?
The forest goat beard is quite persistent and forms strong roots. So he is relatively insensitive to any cutting errors. Cut your goatee close to the ground, it is quite reliable. If you want to prevent the formation of seeds, then cut the flower spikes directly after flowering just above the foliage.
