Boophone is a hardy, bulbous plant genus that generally requires minimal care. Basic needs include full sun to partial shade, preferably in well-draining soil, and moderate watering mainly in growing season. Boophone plants are resilient, but spider mites and fungal diseases can present challenges. Seasonal considerations vary; during spring and summer, the growth period, increased watering is essential, while drier conditions should prevail in autumn and winter when the plant is in dormancy. Potentially toxic, care should be taken in handling.
