Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, reducing frequency during dormancy. Avoid waterlogging.
Remove dead or dying foliage at the end of the growing season. No other pruning is typically required.
Propagate by dividing the tuber during repotting or by sowing fresh seeds. Ensure seeds are sown immediately after collection.
Repot every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot when the tuber outgrows its current container, preferably during the dormant season.
