Cistus ladanifer can be propagated by seed or semi-hardwood cuttings. Seeds should be sown in the spring, while cuttings can be taken in late summer. Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, non-flowering shoots and placed in a well-draining medium.Poda
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the shape and health of Cistus ladanifer. Light pruning can be done after flowering to remove spent blooms and encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.Toxicidad
Cistus ladanifer is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, the resin can be sticky and may cause minor skin irritation in sensitive individuals.Adicional
