snowdrop

Water snowdrops deeply and consistently, providing 1-2 inches of water weekly. Avoid hot, dry days and soil that is too dry. Soak soil until water gradually runs out of the drainage holes from the bottom of the pot. Watering too often will keep the roots of the snowdropps wet, which can lead to root rot. Do not let the soil dry out between watering. Mornings or evenings are the best times to water the snowdrops as the heat of the day can evaporate water quickly.

Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis 'Flore Pleno') should receive at least 4-6 hours of light per day, preferably early morning sunlight. This species prefers bright, indirect light, so it should be placed in a location near to a window but not directly in the direct sun. Snowdrops will tolerate light shade, but too much shade will cause the leaves to stretch out and the flowers to be much smaller. Avoid keeping snowdrops in a location where they are exposed to extreme temperatures to prevent damage or wilting.

Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis 'Flore Pleno') should be pruned near the end of its blooming season. Pruning should remove any dead, damaged or diseased stems and stalks. To maintain the plant's overall shape and structure, prune off any stems or stalks that start to become too long, or are growing and competing with other stems or stalks. Prune off any foliage that is old or that has stopped flowering. Only prune a few stems or stalks at once; pruning too much may damage the plant. Also, only prune the portions of the plant needed; do not prune more than necessary.
