Siberian squill

To ensure the best growth possible, Siberian squill should be watered slowly and deeply once per week in the spring and summer, and once every 2 weeks in the autumn and winter. Water should be applied to the soil and not on the foliage. The soil should be kept consistently moist, but not overly wet or soggy. Water in the cooler morning hours, which will help prevent rapid water evaporation and keep the soil cooler. Avoid overhead watering, as this can lead to fungal and bacterial diseases. If you're using a sprinkler, keep it on for a longer period of time so that the water can seep deeply into the soil. Also, ensure that the soil is draining properly, as standing water can cause root rot.

Siberian squill (Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty') requires full to partial sun for optimal growth. For best results, this plant species should receive up to 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ideally, the sun should be at its strongest in the morning and become progressively weaker in the late afternoon and evening. The morning sun will help the plant photosynthesize and produce energy that it can use throughout the day. During the peak of hot summer days, the Siberian squill should be given a bit of partial shade to ensure proper growth and prevent any damage from the hot sun.

Siberian squills ( Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty' ) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth appears. Approximately 1-third of the plant should be cut back for best results. Cut the foliage down to within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the ground level. This will promote new growth while keeping the shape of the plant in check. Pruning will also ensure that the plant remains healthy and low maintenance. It is not necessary to prune year after year, as this species typically does not require regular pruning in order to stay healthy.
