Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically during the growing season (autumn to spring). Reduce watering significantly during the summer dormancy period.

Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to bulb rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent root issues.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to direct energy back into the bulb. Trim any yellowing or dead foliage as it appears.

Avoid cutting healthy green leaves prematurely, as they are essential for photosynthesis and bulb replenishment.

Propagate by offsets, which are small bulbs that form around the mother bulb. Carefully separate these during repotting in late summer or early autumn.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but this method is slower.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the bulb outgrows its container, preferably in late summer before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the top of the bulb is at or slightly above the soil surface.
