It is widely distributed occurring in southern Europe most of Africa and the Middle East through to the Indian subcontinent. Species of dipcadi grow from small bulbs. The solitary flower stem (scape) bears a loose raceme of green or brown flowers sometimes with different colours at the tips of the three inner tepals. The black seeds are in the shape of a disc or a flattened globe. As of spring 2013 the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognized 41 species and one hybrid.
Water:
Dipcadi thrives with a moderate weekly watering schedule, reflecting its natural habitat's precipitation patterns. It prefers consistent moisture without waterlogging, demonstrating resilience during wet periods and adapting well to varying water availability in outdoor environments.
Propagation:
Propagation methods for dipcadi include seed sowing and offset division. Success relies on well-draining soil, temperate climates, and bright, indirect light. Steps involve cold-stratifying seeds, maintaining moisture, and gently separating offsets. Managed conditions are essential for germination and growth.
