Water: Squills 'Pink Giant' requires minimal watering once established. Newly-planted bulbs need consistent moisture for the first few weeks. In dry climates, occasional watering during the growing season is recommended, while watering should stop in summer and fall when the plants are dormant.

Fertilize: Fertilizing squills 'Pink Giant' is not always essential; however, applying a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer in late winter, when foliage emerges, encourages growth. A second application is beneficial right after flowering.

Pruning: To care for squills 'Pink Giant', prune in early to late spring after blooming. Remove faded flowers and unhealthy leaves for new growth. Use clean, sterilized tools to avoid disease, which promotes longer flowering and maintains plant vigor for an attractive garden display.

Propagation: Propagate squills 'Pink Giant' by saving seeds from dried pods or by relocating bulbs. Transplanting is best in fall; mark bulbs beforehand for easy location. Dig up gently, replant 3-5 inches deep (7.5-12.5 cm) with tips up, and keep soil moist during establishment.
