How to prune sinningia concinna

Remove spent flowers as they fade; allow leaves to die back naturally before dormancy. Pinch off spent flower stalks at the base with fingertips or fine scissors. When leaves yellow and collapse at the start of dormancy, allow them to dry completely before removing them. Never cut or pull away green leaves, as this depletes the tuber.

Deadhead as needed during flowering; tidy up dried leaves once fully dormant. Sinningia concinna is a miniature gesneriad that needs virtually no pruning. After flowering, remove spent flower stems by pinching or cutting them cleanly at the base. Leaves naturally die back as the plant enters a dormant period — do not cut healthy or semi-green leaves, as the tuber stores energy through them. Resume care when new growth appears.
