This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. Ensure the soil mix allows for good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to bulb rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize during the growing season every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Griffinia liboniana every 2-3 years or when the bulb outgrows its container. Repot during the dormant period, ensuring the new pot has good drainage.Propagation
Propagate by separating offsets from the parent bulb during the dormant period. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they establish.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Griffinia liboniana. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.Toxicity
Griffinia liboniana is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children.Additional
