Pruning zantedeschia 'crystal blush' — FAQ
When should I prune zantedeschia 'crystal blush'?
Deadhead spent blooms immediately; cut foliage back once it yellows naturally post-bloom. Cut spent flower stems at the base once the spathe fades. Leave all green foliage intact until it yellows naturally. Then cut the entire plant back to ground level and allow the rhizome a dry dormancy period before resuming watering.
How often does zantedeschia 'crystal blush' need pruning?
Deadhead throughout flowering; annual cut-back at dormancy. Zantedeschia 'Crystal Blush' benefits from removing spent flowers promptly to prevent seed set and prolong blooming. As leaves yellow after flowering, cut them back to the base and allow the rhizome to rest. Do not cut healthy green foliage early — the plant needs it to rebuild energy reserves in the rhizome for the next season.
