These half hardy Arum Lilies are in best grown in containers of rich, fertile, loam based compost such as John Innes No. 2, that can be moved to a dry, frost free position during winter. Plant them so that the tip of any visible shoots are visible just above the surface of the soil. Grow Arum lilies in a frost free position in full light. Caution: Irritant to skin and eyes, and harmful if eaten.
Water regularly throughout the growing season to ensure that the soil is kept reliably moist. Feed every 2 weeks until the flowers have faded. In winter, move Arum Lilies to a bright warm greenhouse, conservatory or windowsill at a minimum temperature of 10°C (50°F). Reduce watering to keep the compost barely moist until new shoots appear in spring.
