Difficulty
Easter Lily presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.
Water
Easter Lily should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Easter 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.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Easter 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.
Dormancy
During the wintertime, it's common for Easter Lily to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
Toxicity
Easter Lily is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.
Humidity
No additional humidity is required for the Easter Lily. Plants take in most of their water through their roots, not their leaves, therefore, watering the soil is the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants.
Fertilizer
The growth rate of Easter Lily is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.
Growth-pattern
Easter Lily grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
Region of origin
Easter Lily’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere.
