Place your Boophane disticha in a sunny, well-draining spot. Water moderately during active growth, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During dormancy in winter, keep it almost dry. Protect the bulb from frost, and ensure plenty of light and warmth. Tip: A terracotta pot with cactus or sandy soil mix provides excellent drainage.
