Water sparingly during the active growing season (typically autumn and winter), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly during its summer dormancy, providing just enough to prevent the bulbs from shriveling. Overwatering is the most common cause of rot for this species.

Pruning is generally not required for Albuca humilis. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as they appear to maintain tidiness and prevent potential disease.

Flowers can be deadheaded once they have faded if desired, but this is primarily for aesthetic reasons.

Propagate primarily through offsets or bulbils, which are small bulbs that grow around the base of the parent bulb. Carefully separate these when repotting during the dormant season.

Seeds can also be sown in well-draining compost in spring, but this method is slower.

Repot Albuca humilis every 2-3 years, or when the bulbs have become overcrowded. The best time to repot is during its summer dormancy, or just as it begins to emerge from dormancy in early autumn.

Use a very gritty, well-draining compost mix, similar to that for succulents.
