Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early stages of growth and during bulb formation. Avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering as the bulbs mature to promote shelf life. Care: Weed regularly to eliminate weeds that compete for nutrients and water. Prepare the soil with well-rotted compost or organic fertilizer before planting. Harvest: Generally from July to September, when the leaves turn yellow and begin to curl. Let the bulbs dry in the sun for a few days after harvesting before storing them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
