Lighting
Full sun
The paintbrush lily thrives best when bathed in a significant quantity of light, emulating its original habitat's conditions. Its growth is optimal in situations allowing ample light exposure, yet tolerable to less sun-intensive situations. Both excess and insufficiency of light may disrupt its healthy growth, affecting leaf color and flowering.
Paintbrush lily is indigenous to warm climates, typically thriving in temperatures that range from 59 to 100 °F (15 to 38 ℃). Adjustments in its care may be necessary in seasons with extreme temperatures to ensure its survival.

Indoor plants require adequate lighting for optimal growth. When natural sunlight is insufficient, particularly in winter or in less sunny spaces, artificial lights offer a vital solution, promoting faster, healthier growth. 1. Choose the right type of artificial light: LED lights are a popular choice for indoor plant lighting because they can be customized to provide the specific wavelengths of light that your plants need. Full sun plants need 30-50W/sq ft of artificial light, partial sun plants need 20-30W/sq ft, and full shade plants need 10-20W/sq ft. 2. Determine the appropriate distance: Place the light source 12-36 inches above the plant to mimic natural sunlight. 3. Determine the duration: Mimic the length of natural daylight hours for your plant species. most plants need 8-12 hours of light per day.
