snowdrop

Snowdrop plants prefer well draining soil that is kept consistently moist but not soggy. Water your snowdrop plants once the soil has dried out, ensuring the soil is evenly moistened. Depending on the weather, water the plants about once a week, but check the soil and adjust watering if needed. When watering, water slowly and evenly at the base of the plants to avoid the flowers and foliage. In the warmer months of summer, you may need to water your plants more often as the soil may dry out faster.

Snowdrops need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This should be in the early part of the day, preferably before 10am. Placing the plants in a sunny but sheltered spot in the garden can provide the ideal amount of sunlight exposure. If possible, the sun should be able to reach the plant throughout the day, however, over-exposure can lead to scorched leaves. If planting in a sunny area, shade may be required during the hottest part of the day.

Snowdrop (Galanthus ikariae) should be pruned at the end of the flowering season. You can prune the flower stems back to basal leaves or even to the ground level. Deadheading of the faded flowers should also be done to improve the overall appearance of the plant. You should generally prune the snowdrop (Galanthus ikariae) to keep it within its desired shape and size, and to keep it healthy and vigorous. Pruning can be done lightly and should be done with a sharp pair of shears or gardening scissors.
