Light: Bright filtered light
Requires bright, indirect light - direct sun will burn the thin leaves. Can tolerate medium light in front of north or east window, but will have less foliage.

Additional Information: During the winter the leaves may fall off and the bulbs go dormant. Does not have any tolerance for cold; try to keep at temperatures of 65 degrees or higher. They are tuberous plants that grow foliage only from spring to autumn. You can then either lift the tubers, allow them to dry and store them in peat in a breathable bag or leave them in the soil and suspend watering.
