Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during dormancy. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to bulb rot.

Reduce watering significantly in late spring as the foliage begins to yellow.

Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to prevent seed formation and direct energy back into the bulb. Trim away yellowing or dead foliage in late spring or early summer once it has naturally senesced.

Avoid pruning healthy green leaves prematurely.

Propagate by offsets, which are small bulbs that form around the parent bulb. Carefully separate these offsets during repotting in late summer or early autumn.

Plant them in well-draining soil at a depth appropriate for their size. Division is the most common method.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the bulbs become overcrowded. The best time to repot is in late summer or early autumn when the plant is dormant.

Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably sandy loam, and ensure the pot has drainage holes.
