Sintenis ArumArum sintenisii

Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, particularly in spring and summer. Reduce watering significantly once the foliage begins to yellow and die back in late summer or autumn.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Remove dead or yellowing foliage as it appears to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent disease. After flowering, the spathe and spadix can be trimmed off if desired.

No major pruning is usually required for this species.

Best propagated from offsets or divisions of the corm during repotting in late winter or early spring. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in well-draining compost as soon as they are ripe, but germination can be slow and erratic.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, just as new growth begins. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid excess moisture retention.

Ensure the corm is planted at the correct depth.
