Rating for this plant:
South African species that occurs naturally in forest and bushveld. Needs more shade than most hemianthus. Ensure it has good drainage and grow in dappled light. Will not tolerate very cold weather (under freezing). Some variteies have a white fuzz along the leaf border. Plant with green bulb half exposed above soil level. Roots grow naturally horizontally , happy being potbound. Can leave undisturbed for a few years to multiply. Make sure bulblets have good roots before gently removing from parent plant, and plant them almost immediately. I'll add a photo when mine flower.
