Dolomite African hyacinth is a novelty that would only really appeal to bulb collectors, it is more suited pot culture and would have little role in a gardening situation. The species is easy to maintain, although the plants tend to become more robust under cultivation than in the wild, often producing larger and more than one leaf, and leaves also become spreading as opposed to being pressed to the soil. This aspect makes the species less appealing and it should be kept in full sun or brightly-shaded light to avoid this happening. The broad ovate leaf with its silvery sheen is an attractive feature that makes this plant an ideal subject for collectors. The species is easily grown from fresh seed and can be raised to adult size in two to three years in cultivation. This species is suited to a warm climate with mild winters. Ideally the plants should be lifted from their pots in winter or alternatively the containers can be kept dry and cool as watering may stimulate early sprouting. Watering can be resumed in spring, around September, and can be applied as necessary during the summer months, although it should be borne in mind that the species will endure protracted hot and dry periods during the summer months.

The species may be able to be propagated from leaf cuttings done early in the season, although this has not been tested on this species. Seed should sown fresh ideally in spring in a well-drained potting soil with some sharp sand added. Rich soils should be avoided as this encourages the plants to become to robust and lose their wild characteristics. Seed germinates quickly and seedlings can be seen emerging within three to six weeks. The seedlings can be left in their natal seed tray or pricked out into individual containers using the same soil mixture. Seedlings and adult plants can be prone to mealy bug especially when air movement is inadequate. Fertilising should be avoided as this too results in the plants becoming robust and detracts from their wild character.
