Water regularly during the growing season (autumn through spring), but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering drastically when the plant is dormant in summer.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to prevent seed formation and direct energy back into the bulb. Cut back any yellowing or dead foliage in late spring or early summer before dormancy.

Easily propagated by dividing overcrowded clumps of bulbs after flowering or when the foliage dies back. Bulbs can also be grown from seed, but this is a slower process.

Repot bulbs every 2-3 years, or when they become overcrowded. This is best done in late summer or early autumn, just before new roots begin to form.
