Pruning pink anthurium — FAQ
When should I prune pink anthurium?
Year-round as individual flowers fade and leaves age. Cut the entire flower stem (not just the spathe) at its base once the bloom is spent. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the petiole. Use sterilised scissors, as anthuriums are susceptible to bacterial blight spread by dirty tools.
How often does pink anthurium need pruning?
As needed — typically every few months. Pink Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum 'Pink Champion') needs only minor maintenance pruning. Cut spent flower spathes at the base of their stem once they fade or turn green and papery. Remove yellowing leaves by cutting the petiole cleanly. Anthuriums do not need shaping — the plant's natural growth habit is self-managing.
