Pruning arisaema consanguineum — FAQ
When should I prune arisaema consanguineum?
Autumn to early winter, once foliage has died back completely. Never cut back green or yellowing growth — this starves the tuber. Once the stem and leaf have browned and collapsed naturally, snap or cut them off at ground level and compost them.
How often does arisaema consanguineum need pruning?
Once per year in autumn; no routine pruning otherwise. Arisaema consanguineum is a tuberous woodland perennial that dies back fully each autumn. It requires no pruning during the growing season. Allow foliage to die back naturally so the tuber can replenish its energy reserves. Remove the dead top growth at ground level once it has fully collapsed.
