The genus veld lily thrives in well-draining, fertile soil, with a preference for partial shade, avoiding intense midday sun. Moderate watering is key, allowing the soil to slightly dry between watering but maintaining moisture during the active growth season. When planting veld lily, incorporate organic matter into the soil, position bulbs with the necks slightly above the soil surface, and initially keep the soil consistently moist without waterlogging. Acclimate plants gradually if grown indoors initially. Although some species may have specific needs, these guidelines are broadly applicable, ensuring a strong start for these ornamental plants.
