Flax Lilies Are Extremely Low-Maintenance, Deer-Resistant Additions To Your Yard, And Here’s Your Guide To Growing Them

The flax lily is a warm-weather plant, so it thrives in higher temperatures, up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

It can work as a houseplant with indoor temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees, but it isn’t likely to flower at lower temperatures.

Each spring, fertilize the flax lily with a product specifically meant for acidic soil plants. During the cold season, its foliage may need to be trimmed back to remove old leaves so it can continue to bloom.

Flax lily is susceptible to plant diseases, such as powdery mildew and leaf spot. To avoid these problems, water at the base of the plant rather than watering overhead.

Also, make sure to water in the morning to give the soil time to dry before night and give it adequate space for plenty of airflow.
