How to prune large-stalked sinningia

Deadhead during bloom; cut back at the end of the growing season when foliage senesces. Pinch or snip spent flowers at the base of their stalks. At the end of the season, cut all stems back to 1–2 cm above the tuber with clean scissors and rest the tuber cool and dry.

Deadhead as needed; annual cut-back at dormancy. Large-stalked sinningia follows the same tuberous dormancy cycle as most Sinningia species — top growth dies back after flowering. Cut stems to near the tuber once foliage collapses. Deadhead spent blooms during the flowering period to keep the plant tidy and direct energy into remaining buds.
