Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Reduce watering significantly during its dormant period in summer to mimic natural conditions and prevent root rot.

Minimal pruning is generally required. Remove any dead or dried leaves as they appear to maintain a tidy appearance.

Deadheading spent flower stalks can also be done, though it's not strictly necessary for the plant's health.

Propagate primarily by offsets (bulbils) that form around the base of the parent bulb. Gently separate these offsets during repotting when they have developed their own small roots.

Sow seeds in spring in well-draining compost.

Repot every 2-3 years, ideally in early autumn before new growth begins. Use a very well-draining gritty compost mix.

Ensure the bulb is planted shallowly, with the top of the bulb just at or slightly above the soil surface.
