watering
Watering frequency and amount will vary depending on the growing conditions such as light, temperature, and humidity. In general, Arisaema sikokianum needs to be watered once or twice a week in the spring and summer months when the weather is warm. Water enough so that the soil is moist but not soggy and not completely dried out. In the winter months, reduce watering to once a month, as this plant does not need as much water during this time. Be sure not to overwater as it can cause root rot and other issues.
sunlight
Japanese Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema sikokianum) is an adorable shade-loving perennial native to Japan. The plant prefers bright indirect sunlight and can tolerate full-shade in the summer months. It needs about 4 hours of bright indirect sunlight on most days throughout the growing season. During the summer months, some afternoon shade may be desirable to protect the foliage from the intense direct sunlight. During the colder months, the plant should get around 6 hours of sunlight daily to ensure proper growth and flowering.
pruning
Pruning for Japanese Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema sikokianum) should be done annually in early spring after the last frost has passed. Pruning should involve removing any brown or dead foliage and flowers, as well as any large or dense clumps of leaves that cover the flower spikes. You can also prune off any unwanted shoots that grow from the flower spikes. Prune back any foliage that is taking up too much space or growing out of place. Some trimming may also be necessary to keep the plant looking neat.
