The plant genus 'romulea' includes about 90 species of flowering bulbs, requiring a careful balance of light, water, and soil conditions. These plants demand well-draining soil and appreciate full sun exposure, with cooler temperatures being optimal. Overwatering and excessively warm climates are common challenges for these plants as they contribute to bulb rot, a typical concern among romulea growers. Other potential issues include pest attacks and fungal diseases. Seasonal care involves a period of dry dormancy in summer, demanding reduced watering, and a return to active growth in cooler, rainy seasons.
