Pruning spring cyclamen — FAQ
When should I prune spring cyclamen?
Late spring as leaves yellow and die back after flowering. Twist spent flower stems and yellowed leaves free from the tuber surface — they detach easily when dry. Avoid cutting near the tuber. Leave the dormant tuber undisturbed in dry soil through summer.
How often does spring cyclamen need pruning?
Once per season as growth dies back naturally. Spring Cyclamen (Cyclamen coum) needs no active pruning. After flowering in late winter to spring, leaves and stems die back naturally as the tuber enters summer dormancy. Simply pull away dried stems and leaves with a gentle tug. Do not cut healthy foliage or disturb the resting tuber through summer.
