Care guide for Sisyrinchium Striatum
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Pruning
Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back any dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagation
Easily propagated by division of clumps in spring or autumn. Seeds can also be sown in spring, but may require stratification.
Repotting
If grown in pots, repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
