Water:
Lilies 'Barbara North' prefers moisture but cannot tolerate standing water. During the seedling phase, establish a strict watering schedule; water less frequently once seedlings emerge, except during droughts. Always water after topdressing and ensure proper soil drainage during rainy conditions.
Fertilize:
Fertilize seedlings early for nutrient support; amend soil based on conditions. Apply compound base fertilizer before sowing, and incorporate farm manure. Amend soil twice during the growth season, applying compound fertilizer when seedlings reach 10 cm (4 in) and again during rapid growth and bulb enlargement.
Pruning:
Lilies 'Barbara North' showcases impressive blooms and strong stems. For optimal health and flowering, prune from early to late spring by removing dead stems and spent blooms, and trim foliage post-flowering. This practice improves air circulation, reduces pests, and boosts the plant's overall vitality and appearance.
