Pruning amorphophallus prainii — FAQ
When should I prune amorphophallus prainii?
Late season as the petiole yellows and collapses. Allow the leaf stalk to yellow fully before removing it at the base. If a flower spathe appears, it can be left to complete its cycle or removed once it fades. Wear gloves — the sap can irritate skin.
How often does amorphophallus prainii need pruning?
Annually, at end of growing season. Amorphophallus prainii, like most Amorphophallus species, produces a single leaf per season from its corm and may send up a separate flower spathe. No pruning is needed — allow the leaf to die back naturally at the end of the growing season, then cut the petiole at the base.
