Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant winter months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant winter months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves as they appear to maintain the plant's health and appearance. Deadheading spent flower stalks encourages further blooming.
Minimal pruning is generally required for this species.
Griffinia liboniana is typically propagated by division of established bulbs during repotting. Carefully separate offsets with roots attached.
Allow divisions to dry for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulbs begin to crowd the pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and coarse sand. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
