Water thoroughly during the active growing season, typically spring through autumn, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period, usually winter, keeping the soil just moist to prevent complete desiccation. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Remove spent flower stalks and any dead or yellowing foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent disease. Pruning is generally minimal for Proiphys cunninghamii.

The plant naturally maintains its form; harsh pruning is not typically required. Focus on tidiness and health.

Propagate primarily by division of bulbs during their dormant period, usually in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Carefully separate offsets and replant them in well-draining potting mix.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown when fresh, but division is more common.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the bulbs have filled the container and show signs of overcrowding, typically in early spring before active growth.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current root ball.
