Good question mine did not bloom this year and last year the deer ate the only flower stalk. I've been told that they should be divided and I have not done it yet. I too would love some advice.

Mine are in bloom now

I can't really give any advise, the first time I planted them in the ground and never saw them again. So this time I planted them in a pot and they were in full FL sun and they bloomed this year. I have no idea what I did right. lol

This is my first year of tuberoses and they bloomed. I should have started them indoors because anyday now, the remaining flowers will be lost to a hard frost. But they still ha a nice display!

They are native to Mexico. Summers are warm to hot depending on elevation and generally wet. Winters are nearly to totally frostless depending again on elevation but are generally dry. I keep mine in a pot and let it dry out after about the first week of November and then keep it dry until April.

I also grow mine in a pot. I just use regular potting soil and water when needed. I think they like to be warm and I keep the pot on cement in full sun. They bloom good this way and I also cut off the foilage and let them dry out in winter. I have dug up the tuber and stored them like canna (cool,dry,dark place) and replanted in spring and they came back ok.
