The use of clean, possibly filtered rainwater is ideal. - Dry overwintering of the plant in a sheltered room. Fertilising is not necessary. In spring, lay out the tubers fresh or plant them out in the bed. As a houseplant in a bright, not too warm place on the windowsill. Fertilise lightly. - If watered less frequently but thoroughly and thoroughly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate deeper layers of soil. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought.
