Hedgehog lily requires bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, with moderate watering after the topsoil dries out. It prefers cool to moderate temperatures, avoiding frost. Challenges include mealybugs, root rot, and etiolation. In spring and summer, hedgehog lily grows actively and needs more water; during autumn, reduce watering as it enters dormancy; winter requires minimal watering, with the plant possibly withstanding cooler temperatures while in its rest phase.
