Water Colchicum byzantinumTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 1-2 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Light Colchicum byzantinumSole pieno
The Colchicum byzantinum should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light. These plants aren't afraid of the cold weather and can be grwon in the garden throughout the whole year.If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again.

Cultivation Colchicum byzantinum
These plants are bulbeous. The Colchicum byzantinum has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the autumn assumes a pink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 20 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Pests Colchicum byzantinum
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Colchicum byzantinum
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
