Water:
Bead lily thrives in consistent moisture of forest understories, requiring evenly moist soil and weekly watering. Adapted to dappled sunlight and ambient humidity, it needs hydrated soil during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging to mimic natural rain cycles.
Pruning:
Bead lily thrives with seasonal pruning in early to late spring. Remove dead foliage and spent flowers to enhance growth and appearance. Light pruning supports vitality, while heavy pruning may stress the plant. Regular care ensures bead lily remains vibrant during its growth period.
Propagation:
Bead lily propagates mainly through tubers, which should be unearthed during dormancy. Ensure each segment has a growth bud and replant at the original depth. Maintain consistent moisture and use well-draining, organic-rich soil for optimal establishment of the tubers.
