watering
Lilies (Lilium 'Sunset') should be watered regularly. To ensure the best results, water when the potting soil has dried out slightly. In general, lilies need to be watered every 7-10 days. For best results, use filtered or rainwater rather than tap water, as tap water can contain salts that can build up and harm the plant. During the warmer summer months, watering more frequently may be necessary. Start by watering the base of the plant, letting the water seep down through the soil. When finished, the soil should be lightly moist but not soaked.
sunlight
Lily plants are sun-loving and thrive best when planted in areas with full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. 'Sunset' lilies are especially suited to warm climates, where the temperature ranges between 65-85°F and the sun is at its peak. They do not tolerate cold temperatures so should be placed in an area sheltered from the wind. To ensure your lily blooms at its peak, try to provide 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
pruning
Lily (Lilium 'Sunset') should be pruned in late autumn or early winter, after flowering is finished. Pruning lilies helps to reduce disease problems and improves overall flower size and quality. To prune, remove any dead or damaged leaves and stems, then trim the plant back to a few inches above the ground. Make sure to make the cut clean and evenly, as any rough or jagged edges can invite disease. To promote good air circulation, thin the number of stems, removing the weakest or oldest ones. Lily bulbs can also be divided in the fall in order to create healthier, more fruitful plants.
