In the past I have imported young Gethyllys bulbs and other related genera, from South Africa to the UK, normally the young bulbs grow opportunistically. However, it is important to allow the growth of the bulb to dictate the cultivation. Do not assume that it wants drought, or lots of water, until it behaves accordingly. Plant in mild, half shaded conditions, until the bulb shows that it wants to grow. This can take any thing from a few days up to a couple of years. Conditions should be moist enough for it to grow if it chooses, or remain dormant without dessicating if it prefers.
