Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to become drier to mimic its natural dormant period.

Pruning is generally not required for Proiphys amboinensis. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as they appear by gently pulling them away from the bulb. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and prevent disease.

Propagate Proiphys amboinensis by separating offsets (bulblets) that form around the base of the main bulb. These can be carefully detached when repotting and planted in their own containers with well-draining soil.

Repot Proiphys amboinensis every 2-3 years, or when the pot becomes crowded with offsets. The best time to repot is in early spring, just before the start of the new growth cycle. Use a well-draining potting mix.
