Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant the bulbs in a location that receives full sun and provides protection from strong, damaging winds. The soil should be fertile and remain consistently moist but must be well-drained to prevent bulb rot. When planting, ensure proper spacing to allow for the 15cm spread per plant. Use gardening gloves at all times when handling the bulbs, as they are known skin irritants. After the flowering season concludes, allow the foliage to die back naturally to help the bulb store energy for the following year. Keep the area marked so you do not accidentally disturb the bulbs during their summer dormancy.
