Growing Instructions
• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Ample light enhances the vibrant purple leaf color; tolerates partial shade but avoid harsh midday sun in summer, which can scorch foliage.
• Temperature & Climate: Thrives in mild temperatures of 15–28°C. Protect from frost and keep above 10°C in winter.
• Watering: Allow the top 1 cm of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent bulb rot. Reduce watering significantly during summer dormancy, and keep soil slightly moist in winter.
• Soil & Planting: Plant bulbs in well-draining, loose potting mix. Plant in spring (February–May) for fastest germination and growth.
• Fertilization: Feed with diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (spring to autumn). Discontinue fertilizing during dormancy periods.
