As a houseplant, plant indoors in pots, 1/2" deep,
in a mixture of two parts rich potting soil, one part
builders sand and one part peat moss. Tubers can also be
started indoors in late Winter then transplant to the
garden. Place in indirect light and keep soil evenly
moist. Once it begins to grow, move into more sun and
increase watering. After blooming, withhold water and
fertilizer, allowing the plant to go dormant. When the
foliage dies down, dig the tubers and store them in peat
moss or vermiculite through the Winter. They can also be
left in their pots of dry soil until Spring, when they
should be replanted in fresh soil.
