Maintenance Tips for Alstroemeria Inticancha Machu

To ensure your Alstroemeria Inticancha Machu thrives and produces abundant blooms, follow these maintenance tips:

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
• Pruning: Cut back foliage to the ground after it has died back naturally in late fall or early spring to prepare for new growth.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Ensure the mulch does not touch the stem to prevent rot.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, protect plants by mulching heavily or bringing containers indoors to a frost-free location.
