watering
Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa 'Pink Giant') should be watered regularly but without over-watering. It should be watered deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. You should water until the top inch of soil is moist. During the summer months, the plant may need a bit more water, as the soil dries out more quickly in hot weather. If the plant remains consistently moist for too long, the bulbs may rot. During cold winter weather, when growth slows and the plants enter a dormancy period,watering should be less frequent.
sunlight
Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa 'Pink Giant') needs full sun to partial shade for it to thrive. The plant will benefit from around 5-6 hours of sunlight daily, such as morning or late afternoon sun, with protection from the hottest midday sun. Placing the plant in a sunny spot in the garden or near a south or west-facing window will provide the ideal amount of sunlight for successful growth.
pruning
Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa 'Pink Giant') should be pruned lightly in late winter or very early spring before signs of new growth begin. Pruning should be limited to removing spent, diseased, or damaged stems, thinning out dense clumps, and cutting back long straggly stems to encourage denser foliage. Deadheading flowers as they fade may also be beneficial. Avoid pruning too much, as this could inhibit flowering for that season.
