I grow mine in a container with a well draining soil. It blooms during Spring, and it has bloom stalks and buds forming now as well. After bloom time, I cut the bloom stalk and allow the leaves to continue on till it wilts on its own. This way it gets to return to the bulbs energy for next Spring. It is totally done for by summer, so I just set it aside. It will start to show the new leaves here by late Fall. Typically I would try to put some new soil and some compost , but last year I was away, and did not get to do it, but it still came back nicely. It does need as much full sun you can give once the leaves starts to form, watered well but in good intervals so it does not get too soggy.

I can keep it here outdoors even in winter since our winters are milder.
