Water thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry to the touch, but allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy periods in summer and late autumn to prevent bulb rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Deadhead spent flower stalks to prevent seed formation and direct energy back into the bulb. Remove any yellowing or dead foliage after the plant has finished its active growth cycle.

This helps maintain plant health and tidiness.

Propagate by separating offsets (bulblets) that form around the parent bulb. Do this during the plant's dormant period (late summer/early autumn) after the foliage has died back.

Replant the bulblets immediately in well-draining soil.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the bulbs become crowded. The best time for repotting is during dormancy in late summer or early autumn.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a sandy loam, and plant bulbs at a depth about twice their height.
