Water: Lilies 'Enchantment' prefers moderate moisture similar to its temperate origin, requiring consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Weekly watering maintains this balance. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from natural rain, enhancing flowering potential and aligning with growth cycles.

Fertilize: Fertilize seedlings early for optimal stem growth, using compound base fertilizer before sowing. Amend soil twice during the growing season, applying compound fertilizer when seedlings reach about 10 cm (4 in) tall and again during rapid growth and bulb enlargement.

Pruning: Lilies 'Enchantment' feature elegant blooms and upright stems. Prune in early spring, cutting back to ground level post-flowering to enhance growth and remove damaged leaves. This practice fosters healthy air circulation, sunlight access, and vigorous future blooming, contributing to overall plant vitality and longevity.

Propagation: Lilies 'Enchantment' is propagated through tubers, which must be handled delicately. Plant the scales in well-draining soil, lightly covered, and ensure consistent moisture without water logging to prevent rot. This care promotes optimal root development and successful growth.
