Plants constantly renew themselves. Old flowers dry, leaves yellow, stems die back. If you leave all of that on the plant, the overall effect slowly shifts from “lively” to “tired and dusty.” Even healthy parts start looking less impressive when surrounded by dead bits.
Regularly snipping off dried flowers and dead stems—what gardeners call deadheading—does two things. One, visually it cleans up the plant, so the fresh growth and new blooms stand out. Two, it often encourages the plant to focus energy on new flowers and leaves instead of trying to maintain dying parts.
The whole display starts looking crisp rather than neglected, even if nothing else changed. It’s like giving the plant a haircut: same person, fresher vibe.
