watering
Crinum plants require regular watering in order to thrive. During the growing season (spring to fall), they should be watered twice a week with approximately 2 to 3 inches of water each time. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the winter, water every 2 to 3 weeks, giving the soil a thorough soak, but making sure not to overwater.
sunlight
Crinum (Crinum powellii) require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day in order to thrive and produce healthy blooms. Ideally, crinum should be exposed to morning Sun and indirect light in the afternoon. If planted in full Sun during the summer months, some afternoon shade should be provided. If grown indoors, a south- or southwest-facing window is ideal.
pruning
Crinum powellii should be pruned following they flower. To do so, trim off any dry or dead leaves or foliage and cut back the flower stalks down to the foliage. Pruning is best done in late spring, but can be done throughout the season as needed. If the plant is not responding well to the pruning, then cease pruning while the plant recovers. When flowering begins to slow, trim the plant back to maintain an even shape and to help encourage flower production. The more severe the pruning, the longer it will take for flowering to resume.
