Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry, particularly during active growth. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings for optimal health. Overwatering is a common mistake.

Prune away any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves as they appear. After flowering, trim back the spent flower stalk. If the plant becomes overgrown or leggy, you can prune it back to encourage bushier growth.

Minimal pruning is generally required.

Propagate primarily by division of tubers during dormancy. Carefully separate offsets from the parent tuber. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination can be slow and erratic.

Ensure divisions have at least one bud.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container, preferably in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging. Handle tubers with care.
