What are the water needs for Bunchflower
Bunchflower should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Repotting the Bunchflower should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
