How to grow

Before planting, soak the bulbs in lukewarm water for about 3–4 hours. This will help them hydrate and start developing faster.

Choose a pot with drainage holes. Place a layer of expanded clay, gravel or other drainage material at the bottom to prevent water from collecting.

Plant the bulbs at a depth of about 3–5 cm, placing the claw-like projections facing down. When planting several bulbs, leave a distance of approximately 6–10 cm between them.

Water moderately after planting. Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged, as excess moisture can cause rot.

Place the pot in a bright, sunny spot, sheltered from strong wind. For abundant flowering, the plant needs several hours of direct sunlight a day.

Once the first leaves appear, feed periodically with a fertiliser for flowering plants, following the product’s recommended dosage.

Remove spent flowers to encourage new buds to form. After the leaves yellow, gradually reduce watering. In regions with cold winters, the bulbs are lifted, dried and stored in a dry, cool place until the next season.
