Temperature:

• Thrives best in cool conditions, between 10°C and 15°C.
• Does not tolerate high temperatures or frost.
• Placing it in well-ventilated and cool spaces extends its blooming period.

Watering:

• Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid overwatering which can cause root rot.
• Water the plant at the base, avoiding direct wetting of the tuber and leaves.
• In winter, reduce watering but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Soil:

• Preferably well-drained soil, rich in nutrients.
• Use a mix for indoor plants combined with sand or perlite to improve drainage.

Humidity:

• If the air is too dry, you can place a bowl of water nearby, but avoid direct wetting of the plant.

Fertilizing:

• Do not fertilize during the resting period.

Resting period:

• After flowering, the plant enters dormancy (usually in spring).
• Reduce watering, allowing the tuber to dry and conserve energy.
