Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly when the plant enters dormancy, keeping the soil barely moist to prevent tuber rot.

Overwatering is a common cause of failure, so err on the side of caution.

Remove dead or yellowing foliage at the end of the growing season. This helps the plant conserve energy for its tuber and the subsequent growth cycle.

Beyond removing spent leaves, no other pruning is typically required for this species.

Propagation is best achieved by dividing the tuber during its dormant period. Ensure each division has at least one viable eye or bud. Allow cut surfaces to air dry for a few days before replanting in well-draining soil.

Repot the tuberous corm every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container, preferably during its dormant phase. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

Ensure the pot is deep enough to accommodate the tuber.
