Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy (winter), allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing or dead foliage at the base of the plant. This helps to redirect energy to the bulb and improves the plant's appearance.
No significant pruning is typically required beyond tidying.
Propagate by offsets, which are small bulbs that form around the base of the parent bulb. Carefully detach offsets when repotting. They can be planted in their own pots and will establish over time.
Seed propagation is also possible but slower.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulb has outgrown its container, preferably in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the top of the bulb is just at or slightly above the soil surface.
