Cultivation:
Grow in part-shade and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Plants should remain dry during winter. Frsot tender, grow globbas in a warm greenhouse or conservatory in cooler climates; they require sustained warmth, filtered light, a potting mix with high humus content and a rest period in winter when the leaves die back. Propagate by division or by planting the bulbils.
