Feed with low nitrogen feed

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.
Summer-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.
