I grow this little beauty under fluorescent lights in my basement over winter. It appears a scape with blooms is getting ready to pop. Once in bloom, the bloom presentation is kind of lengthy (comparability to other bloomers in basement.) Once the bloom fade, I cut blooming stems off and let the leaves grow until plant starts to lose vigor. Gradually cease watering. At die-back I just place the pot in a dark spot in the basement and leave it dry till new growth noted (usually fall), then start anew. Sometimes the next season brings more blooms, sometimes not. If I find some pics of it in bloom, I'll post them, or post pics when it blooms this year.
(I use the same cultural techniques for this Ornithogalum as with Lachenalia).
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
