orienpet lily

Orienpet lilies should be watered about once a week, and should be given enough water so that the soil is soaked and the entire root system is given a good soaking. Water gently so as not to disturb the roots. It is best to water the soil instead of the foliage to help prevent problems with foliage diseases. During the peak growing period of the summer, the Orienpet Lily might require more frequent watering or even daily waterings, depending on the weather and the soil the lily is planted in. During hot, dry weather, the Orienpet lily might need to be watered several times a week, especially if the soil has dried out slightly in between waterings. Also make sure you're not overwatering, as this can lead to rot and other issues.

The Orienpet lily (Lilium 'American Spirit') should receive full sun for best growth. This means direct sunlight at least 6 hours daily from early spring to mid-fall. During the hottest months, late morning to early afternoon light is ideal. In the winter months, sunshine should be greatly reduced, allowing the plant to go dormant. It is important to avoid too much sunlight, as it can result in sunburn, wilting, or damage to the flower.

Orienpet lilies should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring by removing spent blooms, removing the seed pods, and trimming back any basal foliage that has become too large or unsightly. This will help to keep the plant looking neat and healthy and encourage it to grow strong and quickly for the blooming season. Prune lightly with pruning shears and avoid cutting the stems too close to the ground. Doing so can prevent the stems from growing back, leading to less flowers later in the season.
