watering

Asiatic lilies such as Lily 'Lemon Pixie' should be watered regularly and deeply to keep the soil moist. In the summer months, water once a week, making sure to evenly soak the soil to a depth of 8-12 inches. During the winter, the soil should remain moist, although watering should be reduced to every 10-14 days. Be sure to check the soil moisture before watering to ensure the soil is not too dry or wet.

sunlight

Asiatic lilies (Lilium 'Lemon Pixie') need plenty of sunlight to bloom and thrive. For optimal growth, they should be planted in an area that receives approximately 6 to 10 hours of direct sunlight or bright, indirect light each day. During the peak of summer, it might be best to provide some shade to protect delicate flowers and foliage from the intense afternoon sun. It's also important to keep in mind that too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, so monitor the situation and adjust accordingly.

pruning

Asiatic lily (Lilium 'Lemon Pixie') should be pruned in early spring when new shoots appear. The dead flower stems and foliage should be removed to ground level. Foliage that appears yellow should also be removed. Divisions can also be made during early spring to encourage new growth. Additionally, any overcrowded clumps can be widened to promote more blooms. Pruning should be done cautiously to avoid removing beneficial production bulbs.
