Plant it right away, preferably before the end of September when it is still warm outside. Because of its tropical origins it is perfect as a houseplant . Use large pots with a good type of soil and give it plenty of water until about mid-May, when you place it in the sunniest and warmest spot in front of the window. S. madeirensis literally needs to 'bake' in full sun during the summer months , during which it needs absolutely no water. When it shows its first signs of new growth in early autumn, its life cycle will start again. This special flower bulb will be shipped in September before any other spring bulbs, Peonies or Amaryllises will be shipped. We do not recommend planting it later in the season because it can then skip flowering. If you live further south, such as in Cyprus, Malta, southern Spain, Portugal, Italy or Greece, you can plant this beautiful flower directly in the garden. Although it is so special, I recommend planting it in a pot so that you can admire it better.
