How to prune king anthurium

Any time a leaf or bloom dies back. Cut the petiole of a dead or yellowed leaf cleanly at its base with sterilized scissors. Remove faded flower spathes at their stem. Do not cut into the main crown or growing tip.

As needed throughout the year. King Anthurium needs only cosmetic pruning. Remove old, yellowed, or damaged leaves by cutting the petiole cleanly near the base. Spent spathes and spadices can be snipped off once they fade. No structural pruning is needed or recommended — the plant grows a single upright stem and pruning it would cause serious damage.
