• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, loamy soil; a mix designed for bulbs or a combination of peat and perlite works well.
• Temperature: Enjoys cooler temperatures; keep in a range of 50-65°F (10-18°C) for optimal growth.
• Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and any yellowing leaves to maintain a clean appearance and encourage new growth. Allow the plant to rest and reduce watering after blooming for a period before starting new growth.
