It blooms from late autumn to the end of April, in summer it is dormant. The optimal sowing time is the end of August. Before sowing, the seeds are soaked for a day in warm water, and then sown in pots with leaf and peat soil (1: 1).

When small nodules with two leaves are formed, they dive into boxes with a mixture of leaf, peat soil and sand (2: 1: 0.5). When replanting young plants, the top of the nodule should be at the very surface of the soil (no deeper than 0.5 cm). In adult plants, the top of the tuber is usually open.

Fertilize no more than 2-3 times per summer, mainly with nitrogen-potassium fertilizers.
