Pruning cyclamen — FAQ
When should I prune cyclamen?
Throughout the flowering season as blooms and leaves fade. Grip each spent flower or yellow leaf stalk as close to the corm as possible and twist-pull to remove it cleanly at the base. Avoid leaving stumps, which invite rot. No cutting required.
How often does cyclamen need pruning?
As needed throughout the blooming season. Cyclamen does not need pruning in the traditional sense. Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves by gripping the stalk at the base and giving it a firm twist and pull — cutting leaves a stub that can rot. That is the full extent of grooming needed. Do not cut into the corm.
