1. SOIL


Although they accept any type of soil, the best specimens are obtained using a deep and fertile soil.


2. LIGHT


While they support both full sun and half shade, we recommend half shade in hot climates.


3. WATER


Water sparingly in winter, but with abundant water in spring and summer. Remember that plants usually have to fight heat and need more water.


4. TEMPERATURE


Although they are perennial plants, we must protect them from frost. For this, we can dig up the bulbs and store them in an area with a minimum temperature of 5º.


5. PESTS


They are so strong, they hold almost any insect, except one ... Beware of snails!
