Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot, especially in containers.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot, especially in containers.
Remove spent flowers immediately to prevent seed formation, which diverts energy from the bulb. Cut back the stems only after they have yellowed and withered, typically in late autumn.
This allows nutrients to return to the bulb for the following year's growth.
Lilium rhodopeum can be propagated from offsets (bulblets) that form around the main bulb. These can be carefully separated during repotting in late autumn or early spring.
Division is the most common and effective method for this species.
Repot lilies every 2-3 years, or when they become crowded. The best time is in autumn after the foliage has died back. Use a well-draining potting mix, and plant bulbs about 15-20 cm deep.
Ensure containers have adequate drainage holes.
