CARE GUIDE

How to keep Paradisea Lusitanica.

Pruning

The Paradise Lily is known for its striking white flowers and sword-like leaves. To keep your plant healthy, prune any dead foliage in early spring and trim the flower stalks after they have bloomed. Always use sharp, sanitized tools to prevent the spread of disease. Proper pruning helps improve air circulation and light, which in turn supports vigorous growth and maintains the health and appearance of the Paradise Lily.
