fairy wand

Fairy wand requires moist soil in order to flourish. It should be watered regularly and moderately about 2 times per week. It can tolerate having its soil dry out between each irrigating, but not for extended periods of time. When watering, make sure to saturate the entire root zone with water and leave some standing water at the base of the plant to ensure it has adequately hydrated. The more the soil dries out, the less frequent it needs to be watered, so be sure to adjust according watering schedule based on soil moisture levels.

Fairy Wand (Chamaelirium luteum) flourishes in full sun to light shade. In order to thrive, these plants need to receive 8-10 hours of direct sunshine each day. While it is best for them to receive the recommended amount of sunlight all in 1 go, they can also do well with split sunlight throughout the day. They should receive morning sunlight for 4-5 hours followed by afternoon sunlight for another 4or 5 hours. Of course, it is important to note that the sunlight should be direct. If indirect or filtered sunlight is the only option, the hours should be increased to compensate.

Fairy wand (Chamaelirium luteum) is best pruned in the late winter while it is still dormant. Pruning should be light, and should be done so that the plant maintains its natural, upright shape. The flower stalks should be pruned off near the base of the plant. Old foliage should be cut back to a few inches from the ground. If need be, it is also possible to lightly thin out the foliage to maintain an even shape. Pruning should not exceed more than 1-third of the total foliage mass.
