Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in winter, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Remove any yellowing or dead foliage as it appears. Pruning is generally minimal, focusing on removing unhealthy parts of the plant.

Easily propagated from offsets (bulblets) that grow around the base of the parent bulb. Carefully separate these offsets during repotting in spring and plant them in their own pots with well-draining soil.

They establish relatively quickly.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulb becomes crowded in its container. This is best done in early spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining potting mix, and plant the bulb so the tip is just visible above the soil surface.
