MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Watcho for common houseplant pests including mites, scale, and mealybugs.  Culture for saving bulbs can be somewhat complicated and time consuming.

HOLIDAY CONTAINER CARE: Place containers in a moderately lit room.  Because the decorative containers do not have drainage holes, only a light watering once a week when the top soil is dry is necessary.  If mounted instead of planted in soil, mist the plant more often.  If you think you have overwatered, tilt the container into the sink to drain any excess water.  Containers will last 6-8 weeks with proper care. 

BULB CARE:  After bulbs have bloomed, cut the foliage off with a sharp knife to 1-2" above the bulb.  Continue to water and fertilize and keep bulb near a sunny window.  To induce blooming, place the bulb in a dark, cool and dry location (such as a basement or cellar) for 8-10 weeks. (If Christmas is the desired bloom time, put the bulb "to bed" around mid October.  After 8-10 weeks, place bulb back in a well lit, warm location and continue to water and fertilize.
