Water: Peruvian daffodils prefers warm, tropical conditions, requiring consistent moisture for optimal growth. Water once every 1-2 weeks, allowing slight drying between sessions. This herbaceous perennial thrives on rainwater during its growing season, which enhances hydration and promotes vigorous growth.

Propagation: The best way to propagate peruvian daffodils is by dividing bulbs, as seed propagation is slow. Successful propagation needs bright light, well-draining soil, and warmth. Care during dormancy is essential. Separate offsets, plant in potting soil with the neck exposed, and water sparingly until growth appears.
