watering
Dwarf Asiatic lily (Lilium 'Ivory Pixie') requires moderate watering. It should be watered deeply once a week to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Provide extra water during hot, dry periods, as the lily requires consistent moisture. Make sure to avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot or other fungal diseases.
sunlight
The Dwarf Asiatic lily, or Lilium 'Ivory Pixie', prefers locations that receive at least 4 hours of direct and unfiltered sunlight each day during mid-spring and summer seasons. During the winter months, the Dwarf Asiatic lily should receive at least 2 hours of direct sunlight daily. Too much or too little sunlight can damage flowering and foliage. Knowing how much sunlight and when to provide sunlight is essential to successfully growing your own Dwarf Asiatic lilies.
pruning
Dwarf Asiatic lilies (Lilium 'Ivory Pixie') should be pruned in late summer or early fall once the flowering is done. Before pruning, deadheading the spent blooms is recommended. To prune, cut back the stems just above where the leaves join the stem, with the stems cut to varying lengths. Pruning should be kept to a minimum, cutting off only dead or damaged foliage. Too much pruning may reduce blooming in the following season.
