The rest period may have to be induced by gradually withholding water. The summer growth period may be spent outside, but bring the plant inside before the first frost. Flowering does not depend on a critical day length. Repot as the plant comes out of its rest period in the spring. Water lightly until leaves appear then give normal amounts of water and begin fertilizing.
Propagation is by tubers or seed.
