watering
The cayman Islands spider-lily should be watered once per week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. When watering, it is important to soak the soil thoroughly and then allow it to drain freely. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot.
sunlight
For the Cayman Islands spider-lily, it is best to provide a location with full sunlight during the warmer months of the year. This will help the flower to bloom, as it needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. It may be able to tolerate some light shade during the hotter hours of the day, but it should be exposed to direct sunlight throughout the mornings and afternoons. In the winter, the plant will need less sunlight, so providing filtered light for it may be beneficial.
pruning
The Cayman Islands Spider-lily should be pruned not less than twice a year, in the spring and fall. Pruning should be done lightly, only trimming broken leaves and dead stalks to maintain the overall shape of the plant. To promote flowering, the stems should be cut back to the ground after flowering. This allows for new growth which will lead to new flowers. Additionally, you can lightly prune any drooping stems to help the plant look its best.
