Caring for rhodohypoxis baurii
Set roots an inch deep and 3-5 inches apart in non-alkaline, well-draining soil in early springtime. Cease watering when foliage yellows in the fall, and allow the plant to enter its dormant phase. Plant should only be divided when it is becoming crowded and performance is suffering; do so in early springtime, just as growth is beginning to sprout.
