scilla

To ensure healthy growth of scilla (Scilla bifolia), it should be watered regularly. Watering should be done when the soil is almost dry to the touch, but a little moisture should still be present. Depending on the climate and seasonal conditions, scilla should be watered every 3-4 days in summer and every 6-8 days in winter. In the summer months, it is best to water from the bottom of the pot to avoid burning the leaves. In winter months, it is better to water directly onto the soil. Additionally, soil should be well-draining, moist, and slightly acidic.

Scilla (Scilla bifolia) needs full to partial sun exposure to thrive. For best results, it should be exposed to at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day, preferably during the morning hours. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day, as intense heat can cause it to burn. When temperatures become too hot, some shade provided to the plant would be beneficial.

Scilla (Scilla bifolia) generally does not need to be pruned; however, if it is desired to control the size of the plant, it can be trimmed back by up to 1-third of the plant's height in the spring - just after flowering - before the leaves appear. To maintain a bushy and floriferous plant, cut flowering shoots off at the base. Dead flower stalks can be removed as soon as the flowers fade. Pruning Scilla helps to keep the clump of foliage compact and discourages sprawling.
