Water regularly during the growing season, ensuring the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Reduce watering significantly as the foliage begins to yellow and die back, allowing the bulbs to dry out during their dormancy period. Overwatering can lead to bulb rot.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to prevent seed production and direct energy back into the bulb. Cut back yellowing and dying foliage once it has completely withered.

This helps maintain a tidy appearance and signals the plant to enter dormancy.

Propagate by dividing overcrowded clumps of bulbs in late summer or early autumn, just before replanting. Alternatively, collect seeds from dried seed pods as soon as they mature and sow them fresh in pots or a prepared seedbed.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years or when the bulbs become crowded. This is best done in late summer or early autumn when the plants are dormant.

Use a well-draining potting mix and pots that are slightly larger than the current root ball.
