watering
The toad lily needs moist soil but not soggy conditions. Water the soil every 2 to 3 days until sufficiently moist, but don't overwater. Allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry out completely in between waterings. The frequency of watering may need to be adjusted based on conditions such as soil type, light exposure, temperature, and the plant's health. During the summer months, water the lily more frequently as the weather warms up.
sunlight
Toad lilies (Tricyrtis 'White Towers') typically need partial or full shade for optimal growth in order to protect them from intense midday sun. For best results, these plants should receive 4 hours of direct sunlight or more each day, generally in the morning or late afternoon. Avoid excessive shade, however, as this can lead to the growth of weaker than average foliage. Direct sun is tolerated, if it is not too intense as I would suggest some dappled shade for your Toad Lilies.
pruning
Toad lilies (Tricyrtis 'White Towers') should be pruned in early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning should only involve removing any dead or damaged stems and leaves. Pruning should be done sparingly and lightly; try to leave at least 3 inches of stem when possible. This will help encourage bushy growth and more flowers for the summer.
