watering

For lilies, the best time to water is in the morning or early evening. Water deeply every few days when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry to the touch. This will ensure that the roots of the plant are receiving enough water. It's important to avoid overwatering, so make sure that the soil is moist, but not soaking wet.

sunlight

The lily, Lilium 'Emerald Temple', will need to receive between 4 and 8 hours of direct sunlight on a daily basis throughout the growing season. They should be placed in an area of the garden that gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. These plants will also benefit from partial shade in areas with intense heat and direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. In the spring and summer, this type of lily will enjoy most of its sunlight during the early morning and late afternoon; in the winter, they should receive most of their light during the stronger midday sunlight. Lilium 'Emerald Temple' should also be kept away from drafts and other adverse weather conditions.

Be sure to sterilize your pruning tools before and after use to prevent the spread of any diseases.
