Trim off any flowers when they die but other than that, don't be too harsh on them. After the next flowering season you can give them a stronger prune.

We have put in Kangaroo paws and some still have flowers on them, is it too early to prune them back hard as they have only been in for a week.

I have about 6 large Kargaroo Paws plants (Red, Yellow and green). They have got to big in their current location and I would like to relocate them. I moved two to the front garden from the back, whilst in flower, it looks like they have both died. When can I relocate the others? Hi, I have just moved into the SOuthern Highlands south of Sydney.

It won't hurt to have missed it, just wait till after this seasons flowers and prune it properly afterwards :) Not too late to remove the old flower stem but I wouldn’t give the rest of the plant too much of a prune.

It is now nearly NOvember...is it too late to prune it? It is on a west-facing balcony in the middle of Sydney. I've started fertilising it with organic fertiliser (fish-based), is that OK too?

What you might like to try is a happy medium. Perhaps gradually trim it further after each flower? If it is getting too big, you'll need to trim it anyway. Just trim a little more off each time until it is back to what you'd like it to be. This would be the safest bet. To be honest it *should* be fine, but I can’t make any guarantees.
