Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, reducing frequency during dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot.

Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially in cooler months.

Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves to maintain a tidy appearance and direct energy back to the bulb. Pruning is minimal; only dead or damaged foliage should be cut away.

Do not disturb the bulb unless necessary for repotting.

Propagate by offsets (bulblets) that form around the parent bulb. Gently separate these during repotting in spring. Alternatively, grow from seed, though this is a slower process.

Seeds require consistent moisture and warmth to germinate.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the bulbs become crowded, preferably in spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost.

Plant bulbs with the neck just at the soil surface.
