Water moderately during the active growing season (spring to early summer), allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly as the foliage begins to yellow and die back in late summer or early autumn. Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot, especially during dormancy.

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation, which can deplete the plant's energy. As the foliage naturally dies back after flowering, allow it to yellow completely before removing it.

This process is crucial for the plant to store energy in the bulbs for the following season.

Sparaxis auriculata can be propagated by offsets or bulb division. After the foliage has died back and the bulbs are dormant, carefully lift them. Separate any smaller bulblets from the main bulb.

Replant the bulbs immediately or store them in a cool, dry place until autumn.

Repot bulbs annually or every two years in autumn. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost. Plant bulbs about 5-7 cm deep. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

This allows for monitoring bulb health and rejuvenation.
