Heather can be pruned, and proper pruning helps it grow more vigorously. Pruning can be done in the spring, and also after it has finished blooming, it also needs to be pruned in time. Pruning can make its new branches sprout faster and make the plant grow more compactly.

When repotting the plant, you should also trim its roots, that is, cut off those roots that have rotted and dried up.
