watering

Asiatic lilies should be watered once per week, providing the soil with about 1 to 1.5 inches of water. It is best to water in the morning to encourage better drainage. The water should be evenly distributed around the base of the plant to avoid forming puddles. During especially hot, dry spells more frequent watering may be needed. Avoid giving too much water, as the plant is susceptible to root rot.

sunlight

Asiatic lilies (Lilium ‘Dot Com’) thrive in sunny locations with at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun per day. They enjoy temperatures between 65-75°F and do best when not exposed to temperatures extremes or unexpected shifts in temperature. Lilies do not tolerate strong winds, so choose a protected area when planting them outdoors.

pruning

Asiatic lilies should be pruned after they are done blooming. This typically happens in the late summer or fall. Start by cutting off the old flower stems, and then cut any dead leaves, spent stems, or growth that appears weak or diseased. Regularly trimming dead or damaged sections encourages healthier and stronger growth. It is important to make the cuts just above a node or leaf joint, as this will help ensure proper regrowth. Be sure to regularly check the plant throughout the blooming season for any signs of damage or disease.
