In the garden this bulbous plant requires partial sun to full sun.
Keep in mind when planting that Red Peacock is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Ideally plant in potting mix and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 7.5 as Red Peacock likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.
