After planting, be sure to water the tuber well and keep the soil consistently moist until the plant has sprouted and established itself.

Once the plant has sprouted, it will require regular watering and fertilization. It is important to water the plant deeply at least once a week, making sure to keep the soil consistently moist. Additionally, it is recommended to apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This will help to promote healthy growth and an abundance of blooms.
