How to Care for the Plant

Water
It requires moderately watering through the growing season. This can be done weekly or more frequently during the summertime, if the weather is sunny enough, but allow to dry fully before watering again. Kept this way, plants will show a healthy growth. Keep rather dry as soon as the temperature starts dropping in October and keep it strictly dry throughout the winter quiescent period since ot is very sensitive to any moisture excesses. The plants may survives outside without protection in winter (cold hardy to -5° ) but is then somewhat prone to rot, too.
Fertilizer
Give an occasional high potassium liquid feed during the active growing period.
Sunlight
Light shade when young, full sun later ( light shadow my be useful in the hot summer days)

Soil

Temperature
Plants are and quite frost hardy -5 (-15)° C but preferably overwinter in a cool place (at 0/10°C). They need to be kept in a cool place during winter rest. This is important for the flowers, as well as for their health. Without this cool winter period, they normally won't get many buds.
Container
it require a deep pot suited to accommodate the swollen root, repotting with fresh potting-mix should be done every other year or when the plant has outgrown its pot. However, repotting doesn't necessarily mean they'll need larger containers. To prevent rottenness it is also advisable to surround its root neck by very rough sand or grit, this help a fast water drainage.
