Can a sun star plant live indoors all year?
A Sun Star plant grows from a bulb like a Amaryllis, so it has a dormant period. When the Sun Star leaves begin to die back in early summer gradually reduce watering and allow the plant to begin dry out. You must reach a stage in summer where you do not water the Sun Star at all. The rainy season in Africa begins in October so be sure your bulb is dormant 3 month prior. Do not water the bulb while it is dormant. Between October and November you can wait for it to show growth like a Amaryllis or lightly mist the bulb to induce growth. At this stage the soil should never be wet but slightly moist. Keep in mind the seasons in Africa are the inverse of those in North America so growth beginning in winter for this bulb like the Amaryllis is standard.
