watering
Trumpet lilies should be watered regularly, but not too often. A good rule of thumb is to only water when the soil is dry to the touch. The amount of water depends on the size of the pot or container; smaller pots will require less water than larger ones. As a general guide, soaking the soil until moisture begins to run from the bottom of the pot should be enough. During the growing and blooming season you should water more often, but keep it to 2 to 3 times a week. During the dormant season (typically late fall to early spring) watering should be confined to once every 2 weeks. It is important to not over-water your trumpet lily, as this can lead to rot. Over-watering can be especially troublesome during the colder winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
sunlight
Trumpet lilies thrive in sunny locations, enjoying at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning before the heat of the day sets in. The plant does tolerate partial shade, but may not bloom as profusely. It is best to keep this species out of full shade for optimal flower production.
pruning
Trumpet lily (Lilium (Golden Splendor Group)) should be pruned early in the season (March or April) as soon as the danger of frost has passed. Pruning reduces the amount of foliage and helps with air circulation. Pruning should not be done too severely - only remove any dead, damaged or diseased stems. If necessary, lightly prune excess stems to improve the shape of the flowering plant. All flower stems, once fully open, should be removed to encourage the production of new flowers. Also, it's good to remove any old foliage that hasn't come away naturally to create a bushier, tidier appearance.
