Water regularly during the growing season (spring) when the soil surface feels dry. Reduce watering significantly after flowering and throughout summer dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot, especially during winter.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to prevent seed formation and direct energy back to the bulb. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing it, as this process replenishes the bulb's reserves.

Propagate by separating offsets (bulblets) from the parent bulb during dormancy (late summer or autumn). Replant them immediately at the appropriate depth.

Division is the most common and effective method for increasing plant numbers.

Repot young bulbs every 2-3 years or when they become overcrowded. This is best done during their dormant period in late summer or early autumn. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy root development.
