The New Caledonia bottlebrush lily is quite adaptable to temperature, able to withstand high heat and considerable temperature fluctuations. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and appropriate shading provided to prevent sunburn. However, the New Caledonia bottlebrush lily is relatively sensitive to cold.
