Water Bulbine alata thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.

Prune Bulbine alata to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flower stalks to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems.

Light pruning can be done anytime, with heavier pruning recommended after flowering or in early spring.

Propagate Bulbine alata easily from stem cuttings or by division. Cuttings can be taken in spring or summer and rooted in well-draining soil or water.

Division of established clumps is best done in early spring before new growth begins. Both methods generally yield successful results.

Repot Bulbine alata every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention. Repotting is best done in spring.
