Water: Originating from Mediterranean climates, romulea exhibits moderate drought tolerance. It prefers drier summer conditions and more moisture in cooler months. Watering twice a week in well-draining soil prevents root rot, making it ideal for rock gardens or ground cover.

Propagation: Romulea can be propagated by seed sowing or corm division. Optimal conditions include partial shade and well-drained soil. Sow seeds in fall or divide corms during dormancy. Propagation is moderately challenging, focusing on moisture control. Replant corms at the same depth, spaced apart, and water sparingly.
