Pruning pseudodracontium lacourii — FAQ
When should I prune pseudodracontium lacourii?
Post-flowering for flower stalk removal; end of season for foliage cutback. Cut the dead flower stalk cleanly at soil level. Leave the leaf intact while green to support the corm. Once fully yellowed, cut the petiole to the base and allow the tuber to rest.
How often does pseudodracontium lacourii need pruning?
Once per season. Pseudodracontium lacourii is a rare tropical aroid that needs minimal pruning. Remove spent flower stalks at the base once the spathe collapses. Allow the single large leaf to senesce naturally at the end of the growing season before cutting the petiole to the ground. No shaping cuts are required.
