Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot.

Remove spent flower stalks at the base to direct energy back into the bulb. Trim any yellow or dead foliage once it naturally dies back after flowering.

This promotes bulb health and preparation for the next blooming cycle.

Propagate by separating offsets or bulbils that grow around the mother bulb during repotting. Plant these smaller bulbs in well-draining soil and treat them as mature plants, though they may take a year or two to flower.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulb outgrows its container, typically after flowering. Use a well-draining potting mix. Plant the bulb so that the top 1/3 to 1/2 is exposed above the soil surface.
