Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot.

Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially when in bloom. Reduce watering significantly as the foliage begins to yellow and die back, allowing the bulbs to go dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot.
Remove spent flower stalks immediately after blooming to prevent seed formation, which can divert energy from the bulb. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing it, as this replenishes the bulb's reserves for next season's flowers.
Division is the primary method. Carefully lift dormant bulbs in late summer or early autumn after the foliage has died back. Separate offsets from the mother bulb and replant them promptly in well-drained soil.
Seeds can be sown but take many years to flower.
Repotting is generally not necessary unless the bulbs become overcrowded or the potting mix deteriorates. If repotting, do so in late summer or early autumn when the bulbs are dormant.
Use a well-draining potting mix, and plant bulbs at a depth of about 5-7 cm.
