watering
Lilies should be watered once a week, providing approximately 1 inch of water each time. Make sure the soil is moist but not saturated, as improper watering can cause the lily's roots to rot. If watering with a garden hose, slowly trickle the water around the base of the plant to avoid flooding the leaves and flowers. When irrigating during hot weather, check the soil several times to ensure adequate watering. In cooler months, less water is usually required.
sunlight
Lily (Lilium ‘Marissa’) plants require bright direct light and thrive when in a location that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day during the spring, summer, and fall months. In the winter, this plant prefers bright light, but preferably located away from any cold drafts or chilliness. During the summer, if the direct sunshine is too harsh, the blooms may fade or become washed out. If this happens, it is best to provide a light shade cover to the lily during the middle of the day in the summer months.
pruning
Lily (Lilium 'Marissa') should be pruned in the spring or early summer. Prune the plant after the blooms fade and before the new flower buds appear. Make sure to prune any dead, diseased, or unnecessary branches. Deadheading also promotes reblooming and bushier growth. Trim each stem to a length of between 2 and 4 inches. This helps to encourage side shoots that will provide more flowers next season.
