The Queen Lily plant needs to be watered once a week during its growing season, which is usually during the summertime. When watering the plants, make sure that the soil is moist, but not waterlogged. The best way to check is to stick your finger into the soil up to your second knuckle and if there is moisture, the plant does not need to be watered. If the soil feels dry, then it is time for a watering. Water the plants thoroughly until the water runs from the bottom of the pot. After this, let the top 3-4 inches of soil dry before watering again. During the dormant stage of the winter, you can reduce watering to once every 2 weeks.

Queen Lily plants need bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. Aim to provide 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. When opting for sunlight, it’s best to provide this in the morning or late afternoon hours. Avoid direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day, as too much sunlight during these times can lead to scorching of the plants. During winter months, less sunlight is typically needed, from about 4-6 hours a day.

Queen lilies should be pruned annually to maintain a neat, attractive form. Pruning should be done in late winter, before new growth begins. The goal should be to open the center of the plant to allow better air circulation and light penetration. Branches that are dead, diseased, or otherwise damaged should be removed. Any branches that cross should be removed as well. Finally, you can trim back some of the longer branches to promote a more rounded shape.
