Default Scillia madeiriensis

Saw lots during our recent stay on the island, none yet in flower but it
reminded me to check ours when I got home and sure enough three flower
spikes this year. (do say thank you again to Ray for me Sacha)
Question is, its now nearly 2 years since it took up residence in our
Conservatory, does anyone with experience of tender bulbs like this have any
suggestions on re potting, feeding, splitting - there are 3 distinct bulbs
now. Or as its happy should I leave well alone?

Lots of questions, I know but I have never got a tender bulb to live long
enough in a pot before to need any of the answers!
