- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 50+ years
- Size
- 30-60cm
- Light & Placement
- Full sun suits it. Place it in a sunny, airy spot so the fan of leaves gets plenty of light.
- Watering
- Water moderately in the growing season after the soil dries. During dormancy, withhold water and let the bulb rest dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance varies by origin, but it is generally frost-sensitive. Bring it indoors whenever frost is expected.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a well-draining mix and plant the bulb about half exposed above the surface. Repotting is safest while it is dormant.
- Dormancy Care
- There are winter-growing and summer-growing forms; manage according to its origin. Stop watering when leaves begin to die back and resume once new leaves appear.
- Pests & Cautions
- All parts are strongly toxic. Wear gloves when repotting or removing dead leaves and keep it out of reach of pets and children.
