watering
Water Spring crocus (Crocus vernus 'Flower Record') about every 7-10 days throughout the growing season or whenever the soil starts to feel dry 1-2 inches beneath the surface. Be sure that the soil is not water-logged or soggy. Water deeply to encourage root growth and occasionally water from the top of the plant to wash away pests. During bloom time, refrain from giving too much water as this can result in weak flower stems that will not be able to hold the flowers upright.
sunlight
Spring crocuses need 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They are at their best when the sun shines most of the day from mid-February to April or May. When the weather is warmer, in late May or early June, they may require slightly less sunlight. Once the daylight hours shorten, the plant will go into dormancy.
pruning
Spring crocus (Crocus vernus 'Flower Record') should be pruned once a year in early spring, before the plant begins actively growing. Trim off any dead, brown and yellow leaves, clumps, and stems. By pruning in the spring, you are giving the plant the opportunity to regrow and flower in the following season. Pruning should be minimal, as too much could cause the plant to become less vigorous, but it should be done with care to ensure the plant remains healthy and growing.
