Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
The cow lily flourishes in conditions of high light exposure all day and is also capable of tolerating a moderate amount of sunlight. The plant's native habitats are characterized by a wealth of sun exposure. A lack of sufficient light could inhibit its growth, and too much exposure might lead it to wilt. Its requirement for light doesn't significantly change across various stages of growth.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
The cow lily is indigenous to areas where the temperatures vary between 41 and 95 °F (5 to 35 ℃). It boasts a wide temperature tolerance and can even withstand colder weather conditions. Alterations in the care of the plant might be required during periods when temperatures fall outside of this spectrum.
