Water: Lilies 'Star Gazer' prefers moisture but cannot tolerate standing water. Maintain a strict watering schedule during the seedling stage, then reduce frequency unless drought occurs. Water after topdressing and ensure soil drainage, particularly during rainy periods.

Fertilize: Fertilize seedlings early for optimal stem growth and amend soil based on conditions. Apply compound base fertilizer before sowing and again when seedlings reach 10 cm (4 in). Amend soil twice during the growing season, especially during rapid growth and bulb enlargement phases.

Pruning: Lilies 'Star Gazer' thrive with proper care, including early spring pruning of dead foliage to stimulate growth. Post-flowering, remove spent blooms to conserve energy. Use clean, sharp tools for pruning, which enhances air circulation, minimizes disease risk, and encourages vibrant blooms in the next season.
