Calochortus splendens aka Splendid Mariposa Lily

Splendid Mariposa Lily is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Splendid Mariposa Lily should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Splendid Mariposa Lily loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Splendid Mariposa Lily prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
