watering

The Regal Lily (Lilium regale 'Album') should be watered regularly to ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy. During growth, watering should occur once a week if there has been no rain. During blooming, water needs should increase to twice a week if there is no rain. As soon as the blooms begin to fade, reduce watering frequency to once a week. In hotter months, the plants might need watering more frequently. It's best to water early in the morning or late in the afternoon so that moisture has minimal chance of evaporating in direct sunlight.

sunlight

Regal lilies (Lilium regale 'Album') thrive in full sun or partial shade when planted outdoors. When planted indoors, they should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Too much sunlight can lead to scorched leaves on regal lilies, so it is important to monitor the amount of direct sun they receive. During the summer months, when the sun is at its peak, it is best to place your lilies in a spot where they will receive morning or afternoon sun, and the shade during the hottest, brightest part of the day.

pruning

Regal lilies (Lilium regale 'Album') should be pruned once a year in late winter or early spring, just as the buds begin to swell but before the plant begins to flower. Pruning should involve removing all dead or damaged foliage and thinning out clumps of stems or leaves. If the stems are getting too tall, prune them back to keep the overall size of the plant manageable. Be careful not to remove too much of the overall foliage as the lily relies on healthy foliage to bloom. When pruning, be sure to use sharp, clean, pruning tools to avoid damaging the stem or leaves.
