Natal lilies is a genus of perennial plants that thrives under partial to full shade with indirect sunlight. Preferring cool temperatures and well-draining fertile soil, watering should be moderate and only when the top layer of soil feels dry. Natal lilies plants may encounter challenges like pests (e.g. mealybugs and scale) and diseases, including fungal leaf-spot and root rot, typically from overwatering. Seasonally, they need less water and cooler temperatures in winter, lush growth in spring, and flower preparation in autumn. Year-round care involves monitoring light, water, and soil conditions while addressing any pest or disease issues promptly.
