Your lovely plant is likely H. albiflos, native to South Africa and is an evergreen, bulbous type plant with smooth, strap-shaped leaves and umbels of white “flowers” (stamens) that have yellow tipped anthers. Flowers are followed by red berries. Provide dappled shade and regular to moderate water once established. Indoors where the autumn an winter months are prone to frost outdoors, place in an area that receives bright, indirect light, rotate the pot regularly so that it receives an even amount of light and water when the soil feels dry down to the first knuckle. Hopefully the container has drainage holes – water in the sink allowing the water to drain out completely before returning to a cover decorative pot or saucer. Do not allow plant to sit in water as this may lead to root rot. Feed with a slow-release or organic fertilizer formulated for container plants during its grown and “bloom” cycles.
