Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, particularly during the active growing season. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy to prevent bulb rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent the plant from expending energy on seed production. Cut back yellowed or dead foliage in late autumn before dormancy.

Propagate by dividing overcrowded clumps of bulbs in late summer or early autumn, just before the onset of cooler weather. Replant the divisions promptly into well-draining soil.

Repot in spring every 2-3 years or when the bulbs have become overcrowded. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the bulbs are planted at the correct depth, with the tip just below the soil surface.
