Planting & Care

1. Choose a sunny to partly shaded location with a container that drains freely.
2. Place the bulb in the soil mix with its neck or upper portion visible above soil level; avoid deep burial.
3. Water thoroughly after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist until rooted, without waterlogging.
4. Provide several hours of sunlight, with some afternoon shade during extreme summer heat.
5. Feed lightly during active growth; retain healthy foliage after flowers fade.
6. Leave enough space for mature leaves and offsets; divide offsets if needed.

Important: Flowering time depends on bulb maturity, climate and care. Crinum bulbs are not edible; keep away from children and pets.
