How to Plant

1. Plant during the best season in India - October to January.
2. Use loose, well-draining soil enriched with compost or coco peat.
3. Soak bulbs in water for 4-6 hours before planting for faster sprouting.
4. Place bulbs 2-3 inches deep, pointed side up.
5. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the initial stage.

Light, Water & Soil

• Light: 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Water: Water every 3-4 days; avoid waterlogging.
• Soil: Loamy, sandy soil with good drainage, pH 6.0-7.0, mixed with organic compost or leaf mold.

Planting Season & Blooming

Ideal growing period is October to March, in the mild winter regions of North and South India. Blooms typically appear 70-90 days after planting under suitable conditions.

Care & Pruning

• Use a balanced NPK fertilizer (10:10:10) every 20 days; mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
• Remove spent flowers to encourage new growth.
• Cut stems after flowering to let the bulb rest, then store in a cool, dry place for reuse next season.
