AutumnNow
Autumn · Outdoors
Feed with low nitrogen feed
Feed the plant after flowering has finished. Use a houseplant fertiliser that is low in nitrogen.
Where food elements are listed as three numeric values on the label representing in order Nitrogen(N)-Phosphorus(P)-Potassium(K), choose one where nitrogen has a low value.
Autumn · Planting
Divide after flowering
Clumps that have become congested can be lifted, divided and replanted with some space between the bulbs, corms, or rhizomes so that they can further develop, producing new foliage clumps in the future.
Summer
Summer · Outdoors
Keep dry during dormancy
The plant is dormant in summer. Reduce watering as the leaves fade. Leave it dry for the summer and begin watering gently in autumn, or when signs of growth are visible.
