Pruning taccarum weddellianum — FAQ
When should I prune taccarum weddellianum?
As flowers fade and foliage begins to yellow before dormancy. Cut spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves cleanly at the base. Do not cut back healthy green foliage prematurely, as the leaves fuel the tuber for the following season.
How often does taccarum weddellianum need pruning?
Once annually, at the onset of dormancy. Taccarum weddellianum is a rarely cultivated tuberous tropical aroid grown mainly for its dramatic foliage and unusual flowers. Like most aroids with seasonal dormancy, it needs only minimal pruning: remove spent flower spikes and cut back yellowing or frost-damaged leaves. No structural pruning is required.
