no personal experience - i have only grown Crinum natans.... but imagine the needs are similar...... medium to high light is fine, they like a rich substrate and do not bury the entire bulb in the substrate or move the plant once planted.
Factoid of the day: you might be passing by a Crinum everyday!!! Those large spider lilies grown on the road side are actually Crinum asiaticum, which is a native terrestrial/swamp plant.
Do not, however, mistake this spider lily for the much smaller Amaryllis sp. which grows only to about 2.5 -3 ft in height and has a rosette of leaves with blunt tips. Crinum asiaticum is much larger (up to 1.5 m high with a small trunk on larger specimens), and the leaf tips are pointed.
