Pruning arisaema griffithii — FAQ
When should I prune arisaema griffithii?
Autumn, once foliage has completely yellowed and died back naturally. Do not cut back green or even yellowing foliage — it feeds the tuber. Once stems and leaves are fully brown and collapsed, remove them at ground level by hand or with clean secateurs.
How often does arisaema griffithii need pruning?
Once per year in autumn; no routine pruning needed. Arisaema griffithii is a woodland tuberous perennial that dies back to the ground each year. No pruning is needed or beneficial. Simply leave the foliage to die back naturally after the growing season so the tuber can store energy. Remove dead stems only once fully collapsed.
