watering
Tricyrtis 'Lemon Lime' should be watered regularly, approximately once a week, so that the soil remains damp but not saturated. When watering this type of plant, it's best to thoroughly drench the soil around the roots and then wait until the top few inches of soil have dried before watering again. During the warmer months, the soil may need to be watered more often. Additionally, it is important to monitor the soil moisture level to ensure the plant is not overwatered.
sunlight
Toad lilies (Tricyrtis 'Lemon Lime') prefer to be grown in part shade, meaning they should receive between a few hours and almost all day of sunlight. If planted in a location that receives too much direct sun, the leaves may burn and flower quality can be harmed. Generally, this plant should receive about 3 to 6 hours of sunlight each day. Early morning sun or filtered sunlight in the afternoon is best. Avoid placing the plant in direct, intense sun which can be harmful to this species.
pruning
Toad lily (Tricyrtis 'Lemon Lime') should be pruned in late winter to early spring before new growth starts. Prune this plant lightly by removing any dead, diseased or damaged stems and flowering stalks. Trim the plants back to about 6 to 12 inches from the ground or to desired height. Doing this will encourage strong new growth.
