watering
Oriental lilies should be watered once every 3 to 4 days, ensuring that the soil remains slightly moist but never saturated. The soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings, but never to the point that it feels dry to the touch. It is important to avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot and impede the growth of the lily. The plant should be watered until the water begins to drain from the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.
sunlight
Oriental Lilies need at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to produce strong blooms and reach their potential. For best results, they should be located in a spot where they can receive full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. This will help protect them from the hottest temperatures and will give them the best chance to thrive.
pruning
Oriental lilies (Lilium 'Casa Blanca') should be pruned after flowering. Pruning should be done by removing the spent flower heads, the seed pods, and the foliage that is damaged or infected. Pruning should not be done too much, so remove no more than 1-third of the stem length of each shoot. Pruning back old stems (over 2-3 years) can help encourage new growth. A light pruning after the new growth appears is also beneficial to encourage bushier growth.
